| X8240 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M14.12.26. PHANTOM FRONT AXLE CONTROL. X.8420 X.8240 X.8520 Herewith we send N.sch. 2323 shewing the modifications to the front axle control shewn on N.schs. 2293/4 to enable the std. type shock damper to be used in the place of the one with spring control in the centre. As the latter has been practically scrapped we think it is desirable that the experiments should be first instructed with the damper shewn on N.sch. 2323. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
