1158. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.4/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.1.38. We understand that the Wraith dashboard layout is being reschemed in order to alter the position of fittings etc. on it. Will you please take this opportunity to make provision for the fitting of the car heater to DCD.221. We believe that this could be fitted approximately on the centre line of the dash. The heater should be placed as low and as centrally as possible. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
