Dear Sirs, Westinghouse Air Springs. With reference to your letter of the 30th.ult. We enclose herewith drawings of the front of our chassis Nos. E.74236, F.71992, E.73699. We suggest that it would be most satisfactory if we tried a pair of your springs on the front of a car to start with to obtain some idea of their merits. We consider that examination of an R-R car at any of the leading coachbuilders will give you any further information you require. Yours faithfully, | ||
