Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Were becoming more critical of suspension systems, Mr. J. A. Birdsell, B.Sc.. A.M.I.Mech.E., design engineer of Jonas Woodhead and Sons, Ltd., told the Institute of Road Transport Engineers (North Western Centre) at its October meeting. •

Laminated springs had been under the fire of criticism for half-a-century, but they still continued in use; the answer waS that the laminated spring constituted the only type which provided a complete form of suspension in itself.

.Laininated springs, he said, were designed to be lubricated because rusty surfaces would cause their action to start late. They might last longer without lubrication. but that was only because they were not working properly. Lubricant was also a preservative.
