The latest proposal is that the sixth chassis (23-EX) should be fitted with 'E' type steering, and that the seventh chassis (24-EX) will have a special steering suitable for a Sports body. The position now is as follows :- 18-EX. 'E' Type steering. 19-EX. 'D' " " 20-EX. 'C' " " 21-EX. 'C' " " 22-EX. 'D' " " 23-EX. 'E' " " 24-EX. Special " " The position in regard to body subframes is that we shall now require:- 2 off as per N.Sch.2695 for 18-EX and 23-EX. 4 off " " 2694 " 19EX, 20EX, 21EX, and 22EX. It would appear that there will be a special subframe for the Sports type body (24-EX.) BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Cgh. {W Clough} | ||
