| R R 22A (200 T) (S F 10), 25-10-18. G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 7744 O.O. from BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 97C X613 X1609 BY6/P23.6.19. RE 40/50HP CHASSIS. 1. EX. FLEXIBLE DRIVE FOR SPEEDOMETER. Mr Hives informs me that the flexible for the above is not sufficiently long. I discussed the question with Mr Hives originally, and he informed me that 6 feet of flex would be sufficient - it appears, however, that although he thought so at the time, it actually requires 7 feet. Another point worth noting is, that the flexible ordered up from Elliott Bros., instead of being delivered 6 ft, has been delivered only 5 ft.6" long, so that in any case there is an error as far as Elliott Bros, are concerned.
