Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hsl/KT.2.2.31. x 5400 FRONT AXLE 'JAPAN' III. When we reduce the rating of the front springs we shall then require the front axle control. We recommend that we make provision for this. We still prefer to keep the shock absorbers fitted to the outside of the frame, so that they are accessible, and use the short arm with the spring control balljoint with the limited movement.
