We are sending to you herewith as already promised a print of F.CD.607, shewing the positions and size of the lugs on the rail in scuttle, to take the support for the steering column of 1.B.50. Will you please see that these are provided on a suitable member in the scuttle, to carry the load likely to be applied by the driver when pulling himself up out of his seat by means of the steering wheel.
