R.R. 235A (150 H) (V.V. 303. 5.1.14) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 0255. COPY. R4/P 21. 4. 14. To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Copy to Na.{Mr Nadin} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} FRONT SPRINGS. We hope you are making some progress with the experimental front springs having more steel and the low plates with less camber and less stress. X I am rather inclined to think that the 2 1/4" spring for the front of the car is undesirable, as it increases the lateral stiffness which we want to avoid. R.{Sir Henry Royce} X for the object of preventing permanent set. H1076 | ||
