| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 24.7.30. X4851. FRONT APRON - P.2. We send herewith N. Sch. 3138 showing a front apron for Phantom. It is a design only suitable for us to make and fit ourselves as standard. It is applicable to both the left and right hand chassis. We have modified the lamp standard fixing so as to avoid an excessence on the apron, and a little metal is left on the base forging to make a flush fit with the apron. The dimensions are unchanged. The wiring should be that which we have recently instructed i.e. 1/- Extra wire each side to a small disconnecting box. 2/- Lucas disconnectors to wing lamps. The bonnet shewn is that of the wider dash and modified radiator. The hole for the centre lamp bracket hole should be left to be cut only when a lamp is fitted. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked that this apron is fitted to the 2nd. L.H.P.2 25-EX. and that a print of N. Sch. 3138 be sent to him. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
