With reference to the road springs with increased camber which will be required for Mr. Thompson's car. It is not yet settled which type of body he is having, i.e., whether one like that on 4-B-IV or 5-B-IV. We shall be glad therefore if you would wait till this matter is settled before ordering the road springs. At the moment we believe that these will have to be - N.S.F. 700 lbs. N.S.R. 880 lbs. O.S.F. 725 lbs. O.S.R. 900 lbs. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
