RE BONNET, RADIATOR AND DASH - JAPAN 111.

With reference to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 20.3.31. we are at a loss to understand how EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} makes it out that the 'mock-up' radiator and bonnet were incorrect.

They have now been received back at Derby, and the Experimental Department confirm that the bonnet is 36" wide over the side plates at the back end and that the dimensions of the radiator are also correct.

The mock-up has been put on a chassis in the Experimental Department, which you will be able to see when at the Works on Thursday.
