| X350 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 15/KW.18.5.36. La {L. A. Archer} Salle Steering on Ph.III. We wish to be able to fit the La {L. A. Archer} Salle steering at present on 30-EX to any standard Ph.III without alteration to the mounting on the frame of the chassis. From a comparison of Ex.15909 showing the La {L. A. Archer} Salle mounting and N.Sch.4492 showing the standard mounting, we believe that the La {L. A. Archer} Salle gear can be adapted without making a new nose piece. Will you please detail the necessary modifications. The gear can be removed from 30-EX as soon as you are ready for it. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /F.J.Hardy. | ||
