| U21 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RE 1046 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c.c. to EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/JH.2.4.40. Mounting of Twin coils on Dash. L.H. Senior Range. We enclose herewith 2 prints of PL.161 showing the mounting of 2 Lucas coils on the dash board of the cars of the left hand Senior Range. It will be noted that we have deleted the R.R.A heater, although it could be fitted with the coils in this position. It is felt that since the majority of cars with Left Hand Steering will be sold in the U.S.A. we shall fit an American Heater and defroster or even an air conditioning plant, since only the American instruments we believe can deal with American conditions. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Enclosed 4 copies of memo. 2 prints of PL.161. | ||
