| 1021 To Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}23.9.38. BODY MOUNTINGS. We believe that we should definitely produce a body mounting which is less flexible than the Floatex and yet insulated on similar lines to the Packard mounting which we showed you the other day. This mounting would be used for Drop Head Coupés and Open Touring bodies. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
