| X5800 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/3.12.28. ONE WHEEL AT THE REAR 14-G-4. X.5600 X.5400 X.5800 We send herewith N.sch.2769 shewing the design for one wheel carrier permanently at the rear. Most of the pieces are the same as those for the duel carrier shewn on N.sch.2760, already sent to you. The new pieces are the central bolt and fittings and the triangular stay. The tail lamp and number plate fittings are shewn on N.sch.2639 and will have been already detailed. We notice that we have shewn the wheel a little too close to the rear chassis cross tube on both this and N.sch.2760. No doubt you will have already dealt with this point. We wish this carrier to be fitted to the Hooper Sedanca 14.G.4. The dual carrier will be needed for 16-G.4. A luggage carrier will be sent to you for use with the single wheel carrier in time for you to get it fitted to 14-G-4 before it goes to France. We would like it to have the single carrier on before it is brought to WN. for Mr. Royce's approval. . DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
