| -2- Section 7130. Dash Board. This is a Coach Work Section job, and will be supplied with the body. (Messrs. Park Ward). Section 7131. Floor Boards. This is now on the Coach Work Section, and will be supplied by Messrs. Park Ward. Section 7140. Petrol Piping. No L.O.P. available. The usual method is to mock up the piping on the first car, from which we produce details for production purposes. This is also applied to Section 7141. Chassis Lubrication, and Section 7142. Oil Pipes and Fittings. Section 7141. Chassis Lubrication. The Tecalemit Pump Drive off the Morris gearbox will have to be provided, and we will get out a design as soon as possible. Section 7190. Instrument Board. The late Mr. Green had done some drawing on a design of Instrument Board that he had proposed. Mr. Allen had also done a water colour on the lines that we preferred it. The Mr. Walten of Messrs. Smith & Sons had produced a picture of Dash Board, which was very futuristic as regards instruments. This section requires reviewing again and a dash board designing, which we will do as soon as possible. Section 7360. Wiring and Fittings. This will be mocked up on the chassis and the body and drawing prepared for production purposes. Section 7430. Spare Wheel Carrier. As the spare wheel is at the rear of the body under the boot floor, this Section is taken over by the Coach Work department. All this work has been done. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J.
