| X4329 To HF{H. W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/STT. c. to TB (1 print). c. to WHC (1 print). c. to EFC. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/STT4/OB4-8-21 FO 5 AUG 1921 RECEIVED X4329 RE "GOSHAWK II" REAR SHOCK ABSORBER. Please receive herewith three blue prints of "N" Scheme 934 shewing the design for the above. It will be noted that the semi-circular distance pieces under the rear spring clips are somewhat modified to take the shock absorber ball end, also the position of the clip on the spring is specified to give us certain room which we want. In other respects we think the drawing is self-explanatory. The arrangement shown by fig. 1 should be made first, and if not successful in keeping out water, the one in fig. 2. should be used. Please put details in hand. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/STT. | ||
