E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. II. DASHBOARD ARRANGEMENT. X.8500 X.8840. We send herewith No. Scheme 1847.. shewing the layout of the dashboard which is reduced in width and height, in accordance with recent developments. We have also indicated the new position of the radiator shutter control, and the starting carburetter control. The fittings for the wiring conduits around the dash require slight modification in order to get them into the rather narrower spaces, and the vacuum tank requires a new shape to give clearance round the exhaust pipe. We also had to find a new position for the Klaxon. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
