| 8 H500a To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}8/MH.{M. Huckerby}19.10.38. REAR SPRINGS FOR 7.B.V. Will you please fit the 5 1/2" initial deflection springs just taken off the B.III bump chassis to 7.B.V. The shackles on 7.B.V. and the bump chassis should be interchanged. The front end rear spring anchorage on 7.B.V. should be modified to take a threaded pin. This means sleeving the small end of the anchor pin bracket. The bump chassis is to have 7" deflection springs, already instructed. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F.
