| 49500 (handwritten and struck through) To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to CJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M7. 8. 24. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. 2. X.9250 X.9260 X.9500 We send herewith N.scj.1828., shewing the proposed dimensions of bonnet, radiator and dash for EAC.2. We wish Derby to proceed immediately with a mock-up of this, which should be sent to Sales for their remarks or approval. The radiator is abut 3/8" higher than 'U' series and is otherwise like the 40/50 except for a taper tank, and sides. The dashboard is 2 1/4" wider and is correspondingly higher to suit the increase in the height of the radiator. We are sending you shortly a design of gear lever to suit this narrower dashboard, and still preserve the stream line and slim appearance of the scuttle. Will Derby please supply London with two prints of this drawing, and also send us the usual prints. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
