Bailey - Chief Engineer} X4613 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG22. 2. 24. 40/50 CHASSIS. SCUTTLE ISOLATION. We think that the scheme adopted on 5-G-11 chassis for steadying the front scuttle, is badly needed on the 40/50. We have one very bad example of isolated scuttle on a Park Ward Cabriolet body. When the car is going over a rough road the whole front of the body, scuttle and wind-screen move about quarter of an inch. When driving the car it appears to move about an inch.
