| ORIGINAL HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M21.1.29. re. K.S. GAUGE. X9038 X7830. Thank you for your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG17129., re. K.S. gauge. If you refer to our N. sch. 2780. (size V.{VIENNA}) you will see the new moved back position of the gauge on the tank, and the maximum body we can ever expect to have. The body may be square backed as on 19-EX. As a matter of fact 19-EX. is the very worst case we shall experience, and it is that body we shewn on N. scheme 2780. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
