| TO RY. FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M17.7.26. X7380 X8500 X7500 X7940 SCUTTLE ARMATURES WITH CAST DASHES. Herewith we send N. scheme 2236. shewing the proposed method of stiffening the front scuttle armature when a cast dash is used. The proposal is necessarily rather experiment-al and it is intended to fit the scuttle on 12-EX. before it goes to France in order that the method can be tested. The doubtful point is the general reduction in thickness due to the use of the cast dash. We also suggest that a set of pieces of the subframe type should be made for the body for EAC. 7. which is now in process of being ordered. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
