| X7005. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.2/MA. 8. 3. 32. P.2 DIAMOND ENGINE MOUNTING. We find that it is an advantage to increase the poundage on the friction engine dampers on some cars. The present spring E.53020 will not give the desired increased poundage, we should therefore like some alternative springs instructed. So far when a greater poundage is necessary than standard we have used the spring G.1564 which we have found in the repair stores. We suggest a range of springs giving a load of 200lbs, 300lbs, 400lbs would be useful. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/I.A.Leslie. | ||
