Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}11/JH.7.11.40. re Wheel Discs for Myth. We have been asked to prepare a design for a wheel and disc for Myth for use on the model. Since the model is to be of Myth with the 'Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}' frontal appearance, and the M.40 power unit we have shewn a 16 x 5 ins. wheel with a knock in centre. Our scheme PL.397 (original to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH) is only a project and a final design will be issued as and when the actual design of wheel is settled. Likewise we shall then do a Cornercroft type disc for the 5.500 x 16 wheel of the R.R. radiator model. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Original to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.
