| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3806 DAL/M11.7.28. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. INDIA 3. X. 3806 X. 5500 Herewith we send N.sch.2649 shewing the position of the dashboard pump on the dashboard. R.{Sir Henry Royce} does not consider it necessary to convey the pedal any nearer to the driver. He is expected to stretch over and reach it, or alternatively the passenger may do so. We have shewn the enlarged dashboard, but we do not mean to alter any details of this piece which you may have already done in Derby. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
