| To Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /JD. {J. Draper - Frames} c. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /Les. 1023 Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3/N. 1.11.38. Re: Bumpers. --------- Originally B.3. and B.50 had identical tracks and used the same front and rear bumpers. Now the B.50 has wider tracks and needs new front and rear bumpers, a design will have to be made. The same bumpers as for B.50 can be used for Wraith 80, if fitted with R.R. over-riders. Any bumpers already in hand for the original B.50 can be used up on B.3. We suggest that Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} should make sure we have enough of these for the front and rear of 9.B.5. and 10.B.5. As soon as the design is available for the longer front and rear bumpers for B.50 and Wraith 80, we should order sets for 2.B.50 and 30.G.VI. As the former will be ready in about four weeks time, the matter is somewhat urgent. EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
