With reference to N.sch.2294 - Front Axle Control. This is now coming on production. As we previously pointed out when we asked for a spring loaded ball end at the top of the triangular arm, adjustment is needed on every car owing to the variation in road springs, i.e. when fitted up the end of the torque arm will not coincide with the end of the shock absorber arm. The adjustment we are using at present is shewn on F.76482. This is absorbing a tremendous amount of time in the Fitting Section but we do not know of anything better that we can do; no adjustment was shewn on the N.sch. If you have any better suggestion to make we should be glad of your views. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
