Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 646 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.3/AP.8.4.38 FRONT ANCHORAGE OF REAR SPRINGS - WRAITH. As we find there is no benefit in reducing noise in the body due to fitting Silent-bloc bushes to the front end of the rear spring, we should like to have a design for a threaded pin at this position. The rear threaded shackles have been quite satisfactory on 26.G.Vl.{V. Lewis / Mr Valentine} in France so we suggest that the same bushes and pins are used for the front end.
