(Struck through) Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}6/ET.29.4.41. MYTH Dashboard. ---------- We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy the original of PL.656 - Modified Position of Gastight Seal on Steering Column. (Note: 656 is handwritten over 545). The above scheme shows the gastight joint as designed on PL.547 moved outwards to suit the position of the Borman Douglas steering column, this has necessitated moving out the distribution board to suit. Otherwise this scheme is as PL.547. (Note: The word 'board' is a handwritten insertion after 'distribution'. Another handwritten word 'board' is above 'steering').
