DRIVING SEAT POSITIONS JAPAN 3. We send herewith a print of N.Sch.3235. shewing the driving seat positions for Japan 3. The three steering wheel positions "C". "E" & "F". are the same as on the present 20/25HP. as also are the corresponding seats and pedals. It will be seen that the columns of "E" and "F" Type are the same length, and that the pedals, dashbrackets and floorboards are the same for all steerings. The positions of the side levers will be added to this drawing later. It will be noticed that on this scheme we have fixed the position of the steering box and the engine relative to the dash. The same seating positions will be available on the L.H. drive cars as on the R.H. one. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
