| Y35248 17 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to CJ. " " Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} " " Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " " Ck.{Mr Clark} E1/G23.2.20. X.3929. RE "BUZZARD" AND "VULTURE" STEERING POSITION X.3930. AND PEDAL MECHANISM. X.3931/2. We send you herewith drawing No. LeC.1207 dealing with the above. "A" steering is not to be used for the "Buzzard" and Vulture", so that "B", "C" and "D" are dealt with. For the purpose of comparison the standard "B", and "C", and "D" 40/50 H.P. pedal positions are given on this scheme in ink in their correct position with relation to the back of the dashboard and the footboards. Would you kindly send a blue print of this scheme to Mr. Spinney, in accordance with Mr. Royce's memo R1/G23.2.20. As you will see, LeC. 1207 is a general drawing and the details of the pedal mechanism are not treated thereon, but will require working out on a full scale scheme later on.
