We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy the originals of :- PL.988. Modification to Rear Bumper Brackets. PL.989. Modification to Front BumpersBrackets. A short while ago designs of the front and rear bumpers, PL.908 and PL.897 respectively, were submitted to Messrs. Wilmot Breedon in order that they could produce 2 off each. They criticised the bumper fixing to the frame brackets and suggested it should be clamped. The above scheme shows a method of clamping the bumpers to the frame brackets without increasing the weight or making the attachment look unsightly. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J.
