| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M6. 6. 23. GOSHAWK II. RADIUS RODS. X4Z63 There have been more than one car we believe running about fitted with temporary scheme of radius rods, and one at least has done quite a considerable mileage. We should therefore be much obliged if you could tell us in what state you found the ball joints as regards wear, and clean-ness. Any information you can give us tending to indicate the amount of work which these radius rods have to do, would be very useful. | ||
