DASHBOARD. Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1194 Sheet Metal Dashboard Support Brackets. The above scheme shews the dashboard support brackets produced as a pressing instead of a forging to reduce machining costs. The cost of the sheet metal brackets should be compared with the forging costs, and if they are favourable the above scheme should be instructed experimentally.
