| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M12.6.29. 20HP. SIDE SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. X5600 With reference to the double arm carrier on the car which has just gone to France, we thought that it was too flexible. This is the reason for holding up the signing of the standardisation sheet. As the tubes are only slightly less than the Phantom tubes we are not sure that the whole flexibility is in the tubes. Could you investigate this, as it is possible some reinforcement inside the frame would be better than increasing the tubes. If you could tell us where the flexibility is we will send you a revised scheme. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DJ1762 C1764 S1768 9 | ||
