| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 304. 22/4/38. Re P.III. Rear Body Bracket. Ever since production started we have experienced trouble with the rear bracket of P.III. being on the slope. We cannot easily square it up because we have so much stock in hand in the way of built up frame members. On the long wheelbase PIII we used a Flortex Bush. ( see. Lec. 8702.) & suggest this might be the remedy in our D/E.V. 23/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 30.12.37. herewith. This will be brought up by J.L.E. & Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} on Thursday, I believe Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
