| ORIGINAL TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} SECRET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M7.8.24. Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} R.C.E. X8250 X8260 X8500 We send herewith N.scheme 1828., shewing the proposed dimensions of bonnet, radiator, and dash, for E.A.C. 2. We wish Derby to proceed immediately with a mock-up of this, which should be sent to Sales for their remarks or approval. The radiator is about 1/2" higher than "U" series, and is otherwise like the 40/50 except for a taper tank, and sides. The dashboard is 2 1/4" wider and is correspondingly higher to suit the increase in the height of the radiator. We are sending you shortly a design of gear lever to suit this narrower dashboard, and still preserve the stream line and slim appearance of the scuttle. Will Derby please supply London with two prints of this drawing, and also send us the usual prints. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
