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.
