| X.4267. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M3.9.23. RE. CHASSIS PRINT - 20 HP. X.4267 It was pointed out when in London that the accelerator pedals on 'B' and 'D' type chassis shewn in the special auxiliary quarter scale view are identical. We forget which is the wrong one, but either both are 'B' type, or both are 'D' type. Whilst no dimensions are given we would point out that where-ever a scheme is given on a coachwork drawing the coachbuilder will invariably scale the same, and that is what has happened in this case. No doubt you will easily be able to connect this. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
