Further to our Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/26.6.31, re the above, after a discussion with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} we would like you to radius the edge of the shutter end plate around the hole, thus - SEE ORIGINAL FOR SKETCH An alternative suggestion is to actually turn the metal in, thus - SEE ORIGINAL FOR SKETCH This, we feel would be expensive as it makes a pressing of the side panel. In the .080 material it would be difficult, and still more so with the rivetless bonnet using .104 material, or even .116" Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
