Chassis Generally speaking the D.O. instructions for the above chassis are practically complete. There are certain details on some sections which require instructing and certain design work still to be dealt with such as Controls, Steering Column, Dashboard, Change Gear Mechanism and Pedals since it has now been decided that type should be "E" instead of "D" as instructed. The position is such however, we see no reason why the first chassis should be completed by Thursday April 3rd. There are two types of subframe instructed, standard type and the dropped type. We should be glad if BY.. will let us know which type will be required for this chassis, so that same can be dealt with and despatched to enable the body to be proceeded with. RHC.{R. H.
