| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M13.7.29. Copy to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL SECRET. GEARBOX SUSPENSION. X 5005 Mr. Royce wishes to try the rear gearbox suspension isolated with rubber. We send herewith N. scheme 2925. shewing the experimental arrangement. As shewn, the clearance with the cross member is rather fine,and it may be necessary to cut the tube out opposite the bolts a small amount. Should the experiment be successful we might desire to push the whole cross member backwards a small amount. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
