| 450 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} c. By/NS.{Norman Scott} c. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}14.4.39. B.V. STEERING. We believe that the details of spring rating and travel of the rear side steering tube joint are still not issued to production for 300 and 50 sets. We wish to modify our previous recommendations in memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}1/R.10.3.39 as follows:- (a) Spring similar to FB.604 but with 2 working coils instead of 4. (b) Travel to be 0.050 each way instead of 0.100. Will you please incorporate these modifications for production. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
