SUBFRAMES FOR AMERICAN 'S.S'. -------------------------- With reference to EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/18.2.29. in which we are requested to put in hand three body subframes for the three experimental left handed chassis, we wish to remind you that under cover of our BY/Cgh{W Clough}6/G.29.1.29. we sent you a print of LF.1244 showing how the front cross member for the sub-frame fouled the change speed lever tower on the gearbox, and before we can complete our detail drawings for the above it will be necessary for this point to be settled.
