| Ref. 91 (5) X200 Re Weight of Chassis. Mr. Swetnam 8/12/11 TPBB/DL81211 Minute 5 of the 91st Meeting of the T.C. December 1st. "Mr. Nadin read a letter which Mr. Johnson had written (CJS/D10111) concerning the increased weight of our chassis. Mr. Swetnam was asked to exercise great care in design in order that the weight should be reduced at every possible opportunity. Mr. Nadin suggested that the redesign of the Marine Engine offered an excellent opportunity for this question of weight reduction. | ||
