| X4013. Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} (Sevres) From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}7/MA.28.4.32. 24-EX. X433 We are sending you out a flexibel spring shackle (N.Sch.3033) for fitting to 24-EX. As regards the fitting up on the car if you foresee any difficulty will you please arrange to get into touch with G.W.H. at Chateamoux and he will be able to put you right. This shackle is not the final scheme which may be standardised, but the effect and the spring load and rating at the spring eye is the same; the only difference will be in the detail. We shall be interested to hear whether it affects any improvement. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.J.Lidsey. | ||
