Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to C. c. to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X4613 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}8/LG3.1.29. X8430 Sometime ago we standardised semi isolation. The object of this was to prevent jellying of the scuttle and support the steering column. Since then we have fitted it with marked success to every experimental car we have built. We should be interested to know whether the experience of coachbuilders confirms our results and if the arrangement is being widely adopted. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
