| To Ey. from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ✓ ORIGINAL Dal/M13.7.22. GOSHAWK. - LUGGAGE GRID. V3524 We send herewith our print of N.sch . 1300, to which we have added in pencil a transverse stiffening stay. We believe that this grid will be found sufficient-ly rigid without this, but in case not, this stay should be used, and we have added a note to this effect. Would Derby kindly add this sketch and note to the original drawing and send us a fresh print, if possible by Saturday morning, or Monday at latest. It will be understood that this question of luggage grid is not settled until we have had a price from Derby, which must be below a certain figure, or the design will either require modification or abandoning altogether. Could the giving of this price be speeded up? Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RECEIVED JUL 1922 | ||
