| To EY. from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7500 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M17.7.26. SCUTTLE ARMATURES WITH CAST DASHES. X.7380 X.7500 X.8500 X.7940 Herewith we send N.sch.2236 shewing the proposed method of stiffening the front scuttle armature when a cast dash is used. The proposal is necessarily rather experimental and it is intended to fit the scuttle on 12-EX before it goes to France in order that the method can be tested. The doubtful point is the general reduction in thick-ness due to the use of the cast dash. We also suggest that a set of pieces of the subframe type should be made for the body for EAC.7. which is now in process of being ordered. MADE AT CROXLEY DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
