SHOCK DAMPER VALVE SETTING. We want to reduce the valve load on B.V. front dampers, as follows:- English B.V. - 110 lbs. French B.V. and all Corniche - 125 " This involves no scrap. It should not be introduced except with the new 'leak' as in By/NS.{Norman Scott}8/MG.14.7.39. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
