As the Administration are afraid that difficulties may arise if we put off the ordering of the material to the correct date for "K" Series, will the Sections at once send through to the Order Office a set of Part Lists covering "K" Series material. So far as I am aware at the moment, the only changes on "K" Series are:- a/- Hydraulic shock dampers on the front, which will be of the standard 40/50 type. b/- New stiffer and shorter column for "raked" and "upright", with modified worm ratio. c/- Pedals nearer the dash to suit shorter column. The Part Lists for the above should be prepared and sent through without delay, as it is essential that the Order Office should be at liberty to start ordering this material at once. The number of chassis in "K" Series will be 200. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [STAMP: RECEIVED 9 JUL 1926] | ||
