A scheme has been completed No.DCD.85 for moving the fuse box to the position at present occupied by the petrol pumps; this is possible when these go into the frame. In conjunction with this alteration we are pro- posing to reduce the number of fuses to 5. It will then be possible to replace the present elaborate diagram with simple instructions. The new fuse box necessitates new moulds. Until we have run one experimentally, we are not instructing the parts for the first six cars. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
