At the Experimental Department's request we wish to reduce the amount of rubber in the rebound buffer. Will you therefore please alter the depth of the buffer from 1.500 to .800. It is understood that the rubbers on the 50,000 miles car were so reduced on the test. Please let ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} have two altered prints without delay for outside manufacturers. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
