Continued note on taking readings from Lanchester rear springs and the importance of correct rigging.

Contd. -4- AW/EH2/C8.4.13.

On the Lanchester rear springs the centre clip is not half way along the spring, we were carefully to rig it up the same way when taking our readings.

At first I got out with this because I imagined if I took readings either end of the spring or took it from the centre clip and halved it, it would balance out the same, we found that this was not so.

EH.
