| -2- (5) AUTOVAC TANK. The square type tank as fitted, and carrying the klaxon bracket on its face was not considered so elegant in its appearance as the locomotive type used on 'V' series. (6) WHEEL CARRIER - N.SCH.1836. This was of the single tube but without the enlarged parallel tube. It was thought that this single tube type was neat,light, and we think that the single tube carrier - N.sch.2015 - should be tested in parallel with the 2 armed carrier N.sch.2023., as it may be preferred. We are endeavouring to get these modifications through immediately. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Watermark: DICKINSON BOND] | ||
