| SECRET ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M18.7.28. FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} "SS{S. Smith}" SHOCK DAMPER CONNECTING RODS. X7520 Herewith we send N. sch. 2653. shewing the rear shock damper connecting rods with spring loaded ball ends. We have shewn one suitable for each arrange-ment of shock damper, but as on N. sch. 2651. the con. rod is short. We have suggested that it might be made solid in that case, but in N. sch. 2652. should be built up with tube. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
