| TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M23.7.27. PHANTOM WHEEL CARRIER. X8600 +8400 With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG21727., reporting on the above wheel carrier, the difficulty in using N. scheme 2402. arises when we supply the wheel carrier without the luggage grid, and we believe that it is the intention of the administration to do this. Consequently we are not sure that we are right in abandoning the proposal on N. scheme 2419. without further test. Could you kindly send us further particulars of the fracture on this, and preferably the actual broken pieces. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
