| +8240 Mr. Shelton. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Struck through] c. Mr. Booth. BYS/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 1.4.25. ------------------------ CONTROLS FOR SHUTTERS AND STARTING CARBURETTER ON INSTRUMENT BOARD. ------------------------------------------------------ Will you kindly arrange to put on order with RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} only, three experimental sets of the new Controls to N.Scheme 1967. These must not be used to replace the controls actually being used on "V" Series cars to be run on the 10,000 miles trial, as it is not proposed at the moment to replace the controls submitted to us under N.Scheme 1957 by those shown on the later drawing, N.Scheme 1967. The controls which have been detailed and issued to N.Scheme 1957 are to be left on order for "V" Series. The matter will be discussed at the meeting which will be held later this week or early next week, but so far as any discussion of this matter at the moment, we have never reached the stage by which agreement to replace the scheme ordered, by the later one, has been agreed to. CJ. in fact was distinctly against making a change. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Signature] | ||
