+7430 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M12.6.26. EAC. 8. CAST DASH. X.7500 X.7430 When R.{Sir Henry Royce} inspected the EAC. 8. chassis on Tuesday last he wished to modify the position of the steering column stay to get it further away from the foot. We accordingly send you herewith N.sch.2210 shewing the proposals. The L.H. figure shews how existing castings can be adapted, and the R.H. figure shews the modifications to the pattern which should be carried out as soon as possible. It will be seen that a new clip eliminating the sphere is also indicated. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
