| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} R.F.C. COPY. X.3981. BY2/H2.6.20. X.3481 CHASSIS REAR SPRINGS. X.3981 Referring to the question of squeaking of Rear Springs, and the proposed change of design to a wide square end of the leaf, with the exception of a radius at each corner, in the near future, Mr. Herbert Frood has been running with Ferodo Inter-leaving Material, and reports upon same as in copy of his letter attached. As soon as the samples come to hand, I will arrange to submit them for your inspection. I wish to emphasize Mr. Herbert Frood's request that we should be careful not to break the material, which is of a distinctly brittle nature. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} EFC JUN 8 1920 RECEIVED. | ||
