| 2006. To HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/W.Bell. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FWK. c. HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 446 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FWK.9/AP.2.2.38 BENTLEY III. FRONT SUSPENSION Will you please plot deflection curves against end thrust for the four accompanying bearings. For comparative purposes will you also show the original deflection curves (obtained from new bearings of the same type) on the same graph. In order to preserve the condition of the bearings as much as possible, please do not let the end deflection exceed 3/16". Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/F.W.Kennington. | ||
