| To BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 48260 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M11.1.27. 40/50 HP. BONNET. X. 8260 X. 5260 With reference to R1/M3.1.27., would you please note that the figure 5/8 for the shorter bonnet, mentioned in paras. 2. and 6 should be 1 5/8". Would you kindly correct your copy. In spite of this alteration we still think that R's remarks are apposite, as even then the decrease is only of the order of 3 1/2%. We are setting out R's suggestions for improving the appearance, and shall despatch them in the course of a few days. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
