EXP. STORK(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes)
To HY. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design}
c. to Cd. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M16.9.22.
RE. "STORK(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes)" FRAME. X 3984
We send you herewith N.sch. 1324 shewing the front end of the frame in the final form in which we should like it to be for "Stork(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes)".
It may not exactly agree with the alterations that you are able to make on the existing frames, but if new dies are ordered for "Stork(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes)" we should like the frame to be of this shape.
