| 1010 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} Copy to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/MH.{M. Huckerby} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}1/14.12.40. FRAMES - MYTH. We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/MH{M. Huckerby}'s copy the original of PL.435 Front Bumper and Fog Lamp Brackets. The above scheme has been produced at Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG's request, in order that the front end of the model can be completed. The front bumper is carried by a sheet metal bracket attached to the underside of the frame side channels, sandwiched between the bumper bar and the bumper bracket is provided a bracket to carry the pass lamp. If it is decided to adopt this type of bumper bracket on the final design, the mounting of the front roll rod will have to be considered at the same time. With a bumper bracket of this type it is necessary to go to side jacking. For the model the shape and position of the Front Bumper should be taken from PL.347. The Bumper section and the shape of the over-riders is the same as the Rear Bumpers see PL.432. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/MH.{M. Huckerby} please note this is a model maker's design only, no detailing is therefore required. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J.
