We send herewith N. scheme 3193. shewing a universal dashboard for all angles of steering. For the following reasons we prefer this scheme to Scheme 1413:- (1) The faces on the dash which are machined are normal. (2) The castings may be machine moulded. (3) The column supporting casting on the dash can be removed without disturbing the wiring. (4) We think that the more normal appearance of N. scheme 3193. is more likely to make it acceptable to R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Circular Stamp] RECEIVED 18 JAN 1934 SH | ||
