BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Struck through] c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} LIP X5470. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}6/H3.11.31. re. 20/25 HP. Chassis. Foot Pedal Clearance. We have received one or two complaints that one's shoe at times gets jammed between the brake pedal and steering column bolt head, that is on the "E" position steering. It has been suggested that a similar type of bracket at this point as is used on the Phantom column raked steering could be used on the above chassis. I shall be glad if you can give this matter your consideration. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} [Stamp: RECEIVED NOV 1931] | ||
