| H O 6. To Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /CRL. {C. R. Lisson} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /JBD. {John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} 7/JH.23.3.39. B.V. Front Intermediate Shafts. Owing to our error in my memo. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /JBD. {John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} 14/JH.23.1.39. the lengths between centres on the intermediate lever to the front brakes are wrong. These should be 5.625" and 4.625" the ratio being 5.625/4.625 to give more front brakes, the length of the lever remains unchanged from the original lever. The memo. in question gives the lengths as ̶6̶.̶6̶2̶5̶\"̶/̶5̶.̶5̶2̶5̶\"̶ which is wrong. Will you please alter this for the first 300 sets now ordered.
