| contd:- -2- that the maximum damping effect be obtained from the front shock ampers and that the rear of the car should be fitted with the Hartford pattern as described above. You will notice that this confirms my original advice of using the most flexible springs possible, without too frequent bump-ing, in conjunction with ample damping friction. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
