With regard to the cost of the suspension, 17/6d, a good deal of this is due to the cost of the Ferobestos pads (10s/8d), and we need some less costly material which is self-lubricating and will withstand rust and heat. The design of this section is being gone over with a view to still further reducing the cost on Wraith II. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
