| 1046. File To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/JH.14.2.40. ENGINE CONTROLS ON LEFT HAND SENIOR RANGE. On Pl.87 (two sheets) of which we enclose two prints we show the engine controls and rear damper controls for the cars of the left hand Senior Range. The controls on the engine and from the engine to the dash on the right hand side of the car remain unchanged from those for the right hand models fitted with 8 cylinder engines and dual down draught Stromberg Carburetters. The torsional counter shaft across the front of the dash is used to couple them from the controls of the steering column on the left hand side of the car. Although this design shows the present steering box mounting the controls are unaffected by the new mountong on PL.120 which is the design which should be used. It will be noted that there are only two controls on the steering column namely the throttle and the ride control. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Attached 4 copies of memo. 2 prints of PL.87. | ||
