| X34616 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Copy to Ck{Mr Clark} X34616 Re Rear Shock Absorbers. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG9220, as discussed with Mr. Hives, I think we should ascertain whether the lever is flexing sideways owing to the obliquity of the connecting link. This may absorb some of our clearance in addition to the actual movement relatively between axle and chassis. It may be necessary to stiffen up this lever sideways. Bn.{W.O.
