X.8260 X.5260 With reference to R1/M3.1.27., would you please note that the figure 5/8 for the shorter bonnet, mentioned in paras. 2. and 6 should be 1 5/8". Would you kindly correct your copy. In spite of this alteration we still think that R's remarks are apposite, as even then the decrease is only of the order of 3½%. We are setting out R's suggestions for improving the appearance, and shall despatch them in the course of a few days. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
