| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} BY/RD. X 5005 BY.8/G.5.10.31. RECEIVED 1931 OCT 5 x 7600 x 7005 x 5600 x 5005. SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. DIAMOND ENGINE MOUNTING. On the 'phone EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} made the following remarks as the result of my memo to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}, HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} (BY.8/G.25.9.31) on Monday, Sept. 28th. - (1). We must fit the scheme of a stay from the dash for all normal bonnets. (2). Experimental should give special attention to the design for supporting the frame from the dashboard as sketched in DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M.8.9.31. (3). If (2) proves a failure then WW. will have to give this matter further attention and provide a member passing under the clutch case for use with long bonnets. PII & 25HP BY/. BY | ||
