| PY. FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X 3873 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M13.4.33. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOH. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HDY.{William Hardy} P. 2. INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION OF FRONT WHEELS. We pointed out on N. sch. 3711. that we did not care for the bronze casting at the end of the engine suspension cross member and proposed to make a scheme in steel. Herewith we send N. sch. 3726. shewing a suggestion. The packing piece in the side member has been modified to suit, but otherwise there is no alteration. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
