| X4272. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Mr D'Aeth. BY4-P24.9.23. SHORTENING OF UNDERSHIELD. 20HP. X4272 We find that the above modification calls for quite a number of new parts, whilst in addition all the old parts will be delivered during this month for the old type. The length of time available before erecting the chassis does not justify me in introducing new pressings at this stage for the Undershield, unless it should be for 1001 onwards. Finally, it appears to me that the change in the Undershield is not so urgently called for as to demand the making of scrap. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
