| x764a Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} HOTEL DE FRANCE. CHATEAUROUX(French test region). Indre. France. GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} /8/JAB. 27th May 1936 To. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from G.W.H. With reference to your memo Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 4/M.14.5.36. We note your remarks that the jack pads will be located by solid ears of the Woodhead clip in the final design. On B.56.BN. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} there are no rivets and nothing to prevent the pads moving. This is evidently a temporary scheme but as it is a 10000 mile car, we cannot issue a standardisation sheet stating that the pads are satisfactory. ------------- GWHancock G.W.H. | ||
