With reference to the attached memo (TBB1/L6612) re Road Clearance. I agree with all we are doing, and in the future we must increase the slope of the transmission. I had placarded up in the shop a sign "Work to a model". It is better than drawings, better and quicker to understand. Drawings should always be passed and stamped. There should be no excuse for getting such parts wrong size as in this case. In another letter I suggest trying an increase in the slope of the transmission, raising the frame is hideous.
