| 770 To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/RV. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hsl/LG31.12.27. DUMMY SPORTS CHASSIS. X8714 X8420 I did not see the first dummy sports chassis before it was sent away. The difficulty was however that we were still waiting for a number of schemes from the D.O. Since then, these have been cleared up. As regards the position of the brake lever, the D.O. state that the levers are in the correct position according to the latest information received from you. They say they have written and wired you about the position and bending of brake levers, but have not been able to get a reply. The second dummy chassis will have the castdash and correct position of petrol tank filler. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
