EAC.7. ENGINE SUSPENSION. X7005

Herewith we send N. scheme 2112. shewing a new form of front suspension arm made of a sheet metal pressing. This suits the modified sheet metal cross beam at the front of the suspension, and involves slight modifications to the crankcase.

We also send N. scheme 2113. shewing the same thing done with a forging. Of these two Mr.Royce we believe prefers N. scheme 2112., and we think this drawing should be worked on, N. scheme 2113. being held in reserve in case N. scheme 2112. is not entirely successful.
