| ORIGINAL BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P. 2. LOWERED CONTROLS. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M20.8.31. X7240 With further reference to BY/CGH{W Clough}3/G10831., we send herewith N. sch. 3325. shewing a suggestion for securing the knobs to the control levers on the model. We think however that some further efforts should be made to apply the moulding direct to the lever. Until quite recently on our steering wheels the moulding finished about half way down the spoke. Why could not a similar result be obtained with these control lever knobs. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
