| To EH. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to CJ. " " BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} " " BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} " " DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} " " EFC. RE 40/50 H.P. RADIATOR SUSPENSION X.3456. Referring to your report EHL/LG10.10.19, would you [handwritten: you] kindly note that Mr. Royce would like [handwritten: for] to make the radiator suspension balls very slack, and then test again. Since it is considered that the suspension never gets a negative load, Mr. Royce sees no reason why we should not arrange our dimensions so as to have generous slack in the ball sockets.
