| Contd. -2- BY9/P14.6.20. ----------- 10,000 miles standardisation test, obtaining of course CJ's and R's consent to this procedure. Would you therefore kindly take the matter up with Messrs. Woodheads, pointing out that they have misread our drawing apparently as explained above. The specially thin ended leaves are actually to our drawing. I thought the thin ended springs would be .050" thick at ends. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
