| HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X832. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 5/M13.1.32. SHOCK DAMPER - N. SCH. 3405. On this sch. we have shewn a non spring loaded gland because you have said that you thought it would be satisfactory. The object is to cheapen the shaft and lever assembly by clamping on the lever, and also to gain some room. If you have any more information about it now would you please let us know.
