| [Handwritten notes: SJK, Chassis - 700-] To FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} from Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} c. to FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}5/OH. 15.12.43. MYTH CHASSIS. As you are no doubt aware, we are endeavouring to build two Myth Cars. Whilst I appreciate that L.O.P's etc., for the Electrical Installation are not yet available, I would like you to start looking round with a view to obtaining the necessary material to enable us to complete the Chassis. I believe you have such things in stock as :- Starter Motors. Dynamo. Distributor Lucas Regulator & Control Unit. Horns Battery Sparking Plugs. I suggest you check up your various sections and obtain as much of the remaining material specified on these sections as soon as you can. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} should be contacted to ascertain whether there is any possibility of the completion of :- Sec. 5210 Wire Fittings. Sec. 6035 Speedometer & Drive. Sec. 7080 Petrol Tank (Electrical Petrol Unit) Sec. 7130 Dashboard. Sec. 7190 Instrument Board Sec. 7360 Wire & Fittings. in addition to the Electrical Equipment sections, so that you can ascertain the degree of mock up wiring you may have to face. You spoke to me some time ago about special Cables you wish to try, I suggest that they should be incorporated in at least one of the Myth Chassis. When you have had time to check through the various Sections for which you are responsible, will you please let me know the material position. Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
