FRONT AXLE CONTROL DAMPER. X7420

Referring to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG131128., the sketch referred to was not attached to our copy. If possible could you send us a print.

As regards the lever inside the damper one of the curious things is that the same lever on the rear damper appears to be more highly stressed.

Referring to the last para. but one, is it not intended to say that the pressure velocity effect is reduced?
