| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7250 DAL/M5.2.27. X.7250 X.1085 X.7260 EAC. 8. RADIATOR SHUTTERS AND BONNET. As you know we are endeavouring to come to an agreement regarding some modifications to the proportions of the radiator and bonnet so as to obtain certain advantages from the coachwork point of view without losing the appearance. We send herewith N.schs. 2346, 2350, 2353, 2357 and 2359. All these drgs. have to receive R's approval, and in the case of those dealing with the appearance they have to be approved at a discussion which it is intended to hold in Derby in the near future. Therefore until this general agreement is come to it is not desirable to begin any detailing. All that we should like to do is to have a model in wood made to N.sch.2350 so as to compare it with the Sales proposal which we have illustrated on N.sch.2359. We understand that there are 2 or 3 models in wood already in existence, one of which could be converted to N.sch.2350. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
