TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/ET. SECRET. K.4553 18/W.S/21.12.31. COPY TO SS.{S. Smith} W G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FRAME, TRANSMISSION LINE, ETC. B.2 We send herewith N.Sch.3838 showing the outline of the frame, front and rear springs and the transmission centre-line, which were approved by "R" before he left. The front and rear axles, the petrol tank, the spring fittings and the rear springs are identical with Peregrine, with the exception of the cambers of the latter. Adequate clearances have been left over the axles for liberal camps because we do not know exactly what degree of flexibility we shall require for the springs.
