BY/NS{Norman Scott} 1305 c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}10/G.16.8.38. A.F.M. Please see that this is combined with the final steering geometry before being made. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} BENTLEY 3, 50 AND WRAITH 80. FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION. Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.822 Lower Triangle Thrust Stay. The above scheme shews a compressionstay between the lower triangle lever and torque arm to prevent excessive endways movement of the silent blocs. A boss is required in the lower triangle lever arm and one in the torque arm with stiffening ribs. Please instruct experimentally. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
