It might, it would illustrate that the front spring are doing more work
than the rear. . .I guess I should have said that in the static loaded
condition, the spring's would be at the same loaded rate I.E. the load at
static loaded height is the same (not spring rate) for early or late
Spitfires. After all the weight at the rear is more or less give or take a
few pounds, the same for the different models. I sit corrected, thanks-
