| X231 To Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E.3/HP.11.11.32. re B.3. Instruments and Board. We agree that the scheme for the instrument board outlined in your memo Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M/10.11.32 is as discussed between us at VW. The figures you give for the speedometer and tachometer appear to us to be reasonable. There will probably be one more item in addition to what you mention, and that will be for the hand controlled shock dampers. We should like to get this scheme rigged up on the first Bensport having the existing engine unit. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
