INDIA 3. SCUTTLE ISOLATION ETC+

Herewith we send N.sch.2660 shewing the arrgt. of scuttle isolation for India 3., on the same lines as that recently sent you for Phantom.

It will be noticed that we are again asking for a reduction in the recess in the dashboard so as to increase the clearance.

We should like to point out that when the cast dashboards were originally designed it was for total isolation. The introduction of the studs so far reduces the clearance as, we think, to compel us to alter the casting.
