| To CJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/LG31.10.24. TESTS OF SPRINGS. With reference to CJ2/E29.10.24. Our standard for front springs are those fitted to 40/50 HP. cars without front wheel brakes for use in England. When we say 12 1/2% stiffer, we mean the springs are relatively 12 1/2% stiffer than the above springs. The cars in France are running with 4 cwts. of ballast which would represent approx. 2 passengers and luggage. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
