| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. F.{Mr Friese} Dept. c. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Dept. x 5260. BYA/G.27.2.30. X.5260 X.5500 X.5250 X.5830 X.5770 20 HP. MODIFIED DASHBOARD AND RADIATOR. Mr. Evernden has informed me over the telephone that the N.Sch. for the above will have to be modified, as the curves at the dashboard for the bonnet are not agreed to by Sales. He would like Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to give a chassis number to which this modified dash, bonnet, and radiator will be fitted, so that he can quote the chassis number when dealing with the coach-builders (Messrs. Park Wards, I believe). We should stop Experimental Department working on the dashboard and bonnet. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
