| 762. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} c. to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [struck through] c. to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. [struck through] Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}1/SW.22.1.41. 1030 MYTH. Rear Shock Damper. We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy the original of PL.411 Link Geometry - Rear Shock Damper. The above scheme shows the geometry of the rear shock damper links, when on a One Wheel Full Bump and One Wheel Full Rebound, it will be noticed that the maximum angle of the link in relation to the bolted ends, does not exceed 7°, and as the Harris Bushes are capable of taking up to 8° endways movement, we do not anticipate any trouble. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH please note, no detailing is required for this scheme. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J.
