Suspension on my car Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KW6.9.35. So glad that you are tackling this problem of Road Springs and I am glad that you agree with me, because I have never been satisfied with the springing on this car, indeed it has made people ill from time to time, and it will be interesting, seeing that it is a new problem, to find a cure. I note that three or four weeks will be required before we can get the springs. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
