X.3726: Higher Dashboard and Fittings - Standardisation Sheet. --------------------------------------- It is very necessary that a standardisation sheet for the Higher Dashboard and bonnet and all that this involves should be put forward with all the information available together with your opinion. The Order Office are most anxious to order up a further batch of material and there appears to be a general desire that this change should be brought on as soon as possible. If it is not brought on and approved almost immediately we shall loose the opportunity of bringing this on for possibly a further 1000 chasses. The changes are such that perhaps you will not consider it necessary to run 10,000 miles before standardisation. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
