| - 3 - We would be glad if Derby could put the tracings in hand after having checked over the dimensions. The width between the bonnet hinges at the radiator has been given as 24.075 instead of 23.575 again for reasons of secrecy. The error will not affect the body. As the first S.S. bodies to be built are in Paris, we think the Subframe Prints in French should be put in hand. Would Derby kindly send a set of Prints to W.W. for final inspection as soon as the tracings have been completed. We would point out that on N.Sch.2868 and N.Sch.2870, the chassis is drawn in fine lines and the body and subframe in heavy lines. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
