| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ2/H9.5.25. Y766 OVERHEATING With reference to M2/M5.5.25, -R.{Sir Henry Royce} refers to dropping the ground clearance to 10" normal instead of loaded. Can you please let us know exactly what He refers to in regard to 'normal' and 'loaded'. Does 'normal' include water, petrol, oil, etc., and 'loaded' include six passengers? What would be likely to be the difference between the am ground clearance when normal and loaded? B.J. | ||
