LEFT HAND CHASSIS. -------------------- We have completed designs for 'D', 'C' and 'E' steerings for the left hand chassis. If you refer to list of parts F.80784 you will find that we have specified all three types on this, and drawings for all the details have also been issued and are available. In regard to the type of subframe, we consider this should be the straight type. We are sending a copy of this to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} so that he will appreciate our requirements, as obviously it is one of the standard types of body which will be required for this purpose, and we understand America have little use for the dropped type of subframe.
