| SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Copy to - WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " DY.{F R Danby} ORIGINAL DASHBOARDS - SECOND HALF OF 'T' SERIES. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M8.5.31. RECEIVED 11 MAY X5500. You will see from R's memo. that we are recommending making the dashboard of the 20/25 chassis universal, that is to say, one dashboard for all angles of column, and also a dashboard whereby the steering column can be removed or changed in angle very quickly, and also one whereby the box can be built up as a unit. This is of so great a value that we recommend that we put it on this series, and are sending Derby on Monday a drawing shewing how it can be done. There will be practically no pieces scrapped except that we shall ask for a slightly modified casting for the dashboard, but that is about all.
