| (2) (5) AUTOVAC TANK. The square type tank as fitted, and carrying the klaxon bracket on its face was not considered so elegant in its appearance as the locomotive type used on 'V' series. (6) WHEEL CARRIER. - N. SCHEME 1836. This was of the single tube but without the enlarged parallel tube. It was thought that this single tube type was neat and light, and we think that the single tube carrier - N. scheme 2015. - should be tested in parallel with the 2 armed carrier N.scheme 2023., as it may be preferred. We are endeavouring to get these modifications through immediately. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Stamp: RECEIVED 12 JUL 1933] | ||
