Chassis

To Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} from Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}
c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}3/OH. 9.12.43.

We have made a complete check of the material, L.O.P's and Drawings available to enable us to build a Myth Chassis, and find that the position generally is very promising.

We are however, still awaiting a number of L.O.P's, and we would like you to supply us with these as soon as you possibly can. They are as follows :-

Section 5210 - Wire Fittings.

No L.O.P. available.

FJE/RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} will mock up.

Section 5230 - Exhaust Fittings.

No L.O.P. available.

Manifold for first car in stock. Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} will mock up Silencer.

Section 5240 - Controls.

No L.O.P. available.

Design still unsettled.

Section 6000 - Fly Wheel & Clutch.

From a study of PL. 658 (Morris Gearbox in Myth Chassis) it would seem that a Coupling Quil Shaft No. RG.{Mr Rowledge} 2588 will be required. We find that this particular part is included in the Gearbox L.O.P.

Section 6181 - Hydraulic Master Cylinder.

No L.O.P. available.

Section 7001 - Wing Stays.

No L.O.P. available.

We presume Park Wards will supply.

Section 7043 - Front Brakes.

No L.O.P. available.

This section should be completed and issued as soon as possible.
