| SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X5500 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EVI/M8.5.31. Copy to - WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} " " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " " BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} DASHBOARDS - SECOND HALF OF 'T' SERIES. You will see from R's memo. that we are recommending making the dashboard of the 20/25 chassis universal, and also 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.
