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.
