| C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. JRD. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/ML.14.5.40. If JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} thinks B.4.AW is a better chassis than B.2.AW. I have no preference at all as to which should be sent abroad. JRD. however, should note that if B.4.AW is selected then it's gearbox must not be removed but that from B.2.AW will be utilised instead. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
