to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X, 5500 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M27.2.26; INDIA CAST DASH. We intended to draw your attention to the fact that we have meant this dashboard to be held in the edge-wise direction on one side only, though we have shewn holes for the sheet metal bracket on both sides. The object of this is that as in the case of the Phantom we think the increased rigidity of the dashboard may develop some strains that have not been previously noticeable. The side that should be held is of course the steering side. In this case again subsequently both bolts may be tried for the sake of seeing if there is any ill effect.
