| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M20.10.28. X7600 X7400 'SS{S. Smith}' TWO WHEELS AND BOX AT REAR. Herewith we send N. schemes 2732/33., shewing the arrangement of luggage box and two wheels at the rear. This is intended for 18-EX., and supersedes the previous arrangement of alternative wheel and luggage. The only alteration of an existing part is that it will be necessary to provide a distant control for the 2 level device. There is an alternative arrangement of two wheels and luggage grid which will be following in the course of a few days. We think that RR. of America should be informed of these proposals, and we suggest that a print of these two drawings should be sent them, as they are working on the original alternative scheme, and this new proposal restricts the body space.
