| -2- largest bodies. The deflexions have been fixed as the result of extensive tests. If any more rigid support is used at the rear we have experimental evidence to justify our belief the road noise will be greatly increased in the body. We cannot see any reason why the body mounting as designed should not be a success on your cars, if correctly fitted up, in view of our experience, unless your body weights are materially above those we have catered for as maximum. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
