| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M22.5.28. X5410 INDIA 3. REAR END OF REAR SPRINGS. Herewith we send N. scheme 2579. shewing the rear shackle and dumb iron. We have used the same shackle with slight modifications to the drilling, but have been compelled to make a new dumb iron. It will be remembered that on N. sch. 2554., we instructed that the rear springs should be the same as now except for ¼" negative camber under full load. We do not expect to send you any further instructions about the rear springs. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
