FRONT SPRINGS ON GOSHAWK 11. X4261 In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LGl3.5.22., we note [handwritten: know] that to increase the thickness of the buffers without altering the springs would be to make matters worse, and in fact we have instructed that the rate of the spring shall be increased at the same time that the deeper buffers are used.
