Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.5/MH.{M. Huckerby}28.11.38. 2.B.50 CAR HEATER. We wish this chassis to go to the coachbuilders without any heater fitted as we shall fit the heater at the same time as the modified dashboard is fitted. It will be necessary for the coachbuilders to ensure that sufficient room is left for the heater in its new central position. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
