| -4- HEADLAMPS ETC. We have order up 3.160.S.E.D. The brackets are the same as for Per.2 except for length. Their position is given on N.sch.3487. We shall later change these for a special lamp we are getting from Lucas. The wing lamps are Lucas Streamline. The rear lamp is the R.R. Combined Lamp. All of these will be delivered with the body. INSTRUMENT BOARD. This will arrive with the body and complete with all of the instruments which we buy out from Messrs Smith and Sons. A drawing is being sent to VY. in due course. WING STAYS. These are the 25 HP. bent to suit, in the case of the first two. The third one, which is opposite the dash stiffener is like Per.2, and is scaled down from J.3. (N.sch.3414). BODY BRACKETS. These are the same as Per.2 and are positioned on N.sch. 3497. CLUTCH. For the first car this is shown on N.sch.3575. ENGINE & GEARBOX, BRAKES & SUSPENSION OF UNIT. All of these sections will be dealt with by Ess Dept. for the first car. SIDE LEVERS. We have given E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} sufficient information for the levers to be made to clear the body and instrument board. We suggest that the final setting of the levers be left until you have received the body. FRONT FLOOR. We do not propose to give you a design for this for the first car. PEDALS. The design we believe will be supplied by Ess Dept. | ||
