To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x3873 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.27/KW.16.1.35. In order to overcome the excessive throw up motion in the back seats of independent suspension cars on hump-backed bridges, will you please increase the rebound wheel movement as much as possible on the front of both the Buick car and 19-G-IV. The Buick will need some bent shock damper levers producing. We should like to have as much as 6" rebound wheel movement if possible; 19-G-IV can have another 1½" rebound movement by removing surplus metal from the levers inside the Dubonnet boxes.
