| ORIGINAL DY.{F R Danby} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to - DJ HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} INDIA 3. - SCUTTLE ISOLATION ETC. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M21.7.28. X4613 X5500 Herewith we send N. scheme 2660., shewing the arrangement 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. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
