| X. 8380 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M13.5.25. RE. 40/50 SUBFRAME - 'W' SERIES. We send herewith N.sch.2002., shewing a revised forward support for the subframe. The support is opposite the cross member in front of the gearbox as previously instructed, the chief change being in providing a system whereby the front of the body can be moved transversely so that it matches up with the dashboard. This has been found necessary in mounting a body for 9-PK., and is also a feature provided on the Daimler subframe. We would like all future chassis to be fitted with this subframe.
