| 1010 HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.13.5.39. LIGHT GAUGE FRAMES. Will you please produce two bent front pans in 092 gauge for two frames which we are ordering from Messrs. Thompson. These frames will not be allotted to chassis until they have been tested for stiffness. All remaining items for these will be produced by John Thompson. We should be glad if you could urge these, because if the lighter frames are successful they would save ½ cwt. on the Ripple. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
