| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} OR X5600 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/M19.3.29. C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} CX{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/HN.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} re. WHEEL CARRIER FOR CLOSE COUPLED BODY ON PRESENT 20HP. We have heard from R.{Sir Henry Royce} in his R2/M7.3.29. that he agrees to our N. sch. 2839. The remarks which are made re. the central bolt will be embodied in schemes, but we propose acting on his suggestions in the 2nd. para., and using the existing type of bolt as drawn for the present. Would Sales please instruct Derby to make such of these carriers as they require. We believe one is needed immediately for a body which is in hand for them. We have asked HN.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} to send the coachbuilders a print of N. sch. 2839. so that the body may be suitable. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
