Bailey - Chief Engineer} Copy to CK.{Mr Clark} X.3461 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}13/CE13-20. 1 X.3461 RE SHOCK ABSORBERS IN BODY MAKERS BRACKETS. X.3507 With reference to BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}11/W27-2-20 Mr Bailey has replied regarding the drilling of holes for the shock absorbers. With reference to the provision of a luggage grid we have suggested to London and have submitted to Mr Royce a proposal for a standard bracket to be fixed at the back of existing frames to which a luggage grid could be fastened, but Mr Royce did not express a very definite opinion, and did not seem to altogether approve of our proposals, and consequently the matter is held in abeyance pending a complete design of luggage carrier, which we are engaged in making. This design is temporarily held up in favour of the motor boat job. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
