| Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. X802 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/ADS.3.32. CHASSIS WIRING We believe that economy could be effected on production if the dashboards on the 25 HP, and Phantom II chassis were wired up away from the chassis in the electrical dept. All the electrical units such as distribution board, starter relay switch, could then be wired up more easily and conveniently by the girls who make up the wires in Mr. Brock's Dept. and the correct lengths of wire left coiled up ready for threading through the conduits when the dashboard is assembled on the chassis. This is just a suggestion after giving the matter consideration, and I have the impression that this is standard practice with other chassis manufacturers. If you are interested I thought you might agree to have the matter looked into. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
