Hanbury - Head Complaints} 29.8.27. ------------------ 2-15 29-8-27 GROUPED INSTRUMENTS. ------------------ As there is a very great probability that we shall have to fit the grouped instrument scheme on the show cars, I want to instruct at once all the necessary material except the instruments themselves. It should be noted that the frame part of the instrument should be finished first, as this could be then sent to the coachbuilders by the Experimental Dept. to enable the coachbuilders to fit same into their instrument boards. We would therefore suggest that the Experimental send the necessary blueprints, which we can supply them with, illustrating how the grouping is arranged and the type of board proposed. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} will hand the necessary blueprints to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY | ||
