SUPPORT OF STEERING COLUMN WITH CAST DASH.

We thank you for your HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/LG18628.

It would appear from this that the use of 2 bolts only at the top for the scuttle semi-isolation would be satisfactory, the steering column being sufficiently steadied by the cast dash.
