1030 704 To Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RG.{Mr Rowledge} Copy to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RG.{Mr Rowledge}3/ST.6.3.41. Re MYTH PROJECT. We herewith confirm having handed to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} blue print No.RB.{R. Bowen}18006 - Layout showing suggested Front Seat with modified Change Speed and Brake Lever positions. This arrangement should provide for a seat equivalent to the sample seat already tried out in 9-B-V and, by introducing a recessed door inside panel, also gives ample room for operating the Change Speed and Brake Controls. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has already seen and approved of this scheme prior to the issue of the above print. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RG.{Mr Rowledge} | ||
