HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. 11. CHASSIS PRINT. X 8430 We send herewith N.scheme 1810., the chassis print for a 'D' steering long chassis - EAC.2. Much of the information is similar to the 40/50. We have shewn the minimum clearance possible over the rear axle so that the coachbuilder may get the rear seats as low as the front. We wish Derby to make chassis prints for the other steerings and chassis lengths when these are required. At the moment Sales urgently require a print for a short chassis 'D' steering for the sports model. To enable them to carry on whilst this is being produced would Derby please send them 3 prints of N.scheme 1810.
