| X.4555 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DAL/M16.2.28. BARKER SPORTS. We are informed that the position of the headlamp dipping lever alongside the steering column is inconvenient on this car, due to the low steering wheel and narrow body. London suggest that it would be desirable to change it over to the L.H. side. If Derby agree will they please investigate the question of doing so. We send herewith N.sch.2549, not as a definite instruction, but as an indication of how we think it might be done with a minimum of difficulty, but obviously it would be best to fix the actual positions on the car itself. Subsequently, on the 12 chassis which are coming through in production, it may be desirable to make further alterations as indicated dotted. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
