Leslie} c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.1/AP.11.12.36. CONTINENTAL PHANTOM III. We should like to have particulars for 5" initial deflection front springs for the above car. It is hoped that these will enable a further saving of weight by removing the necessity of an anti-roll rod on the car. The springs will be used in conjunction with Wraith type levers and we estimate a normal load of 1150 lbs. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
