| ORIGINAL ~~BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}~~ FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to ~~SC.~~ HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P. 2. LOWERED CONTROLS. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M23.7.31. x7240. x7430. We send herewith ~~N.~~ scheme 3316. shewing the proposal for lowering the controls on the top of the steering column. As regards the finish of the handles we have shewn one method, but it is expected that the final method would be arrived at by trial and error. We notice on previous experiments of this type that there was some difficulty in getting the bakelite moulded around the metal pieces. If this is a real difficulty could we be informed.
