Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. 750 Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}1/ET.15.12.40. 1030 STEERING - MYTH. --------------------- Attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.'s copy of this memo is PL.429 - 17.000 dia. Steering Wheel for the Myth. This drawing has been produced at Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.'s request, to enable the model maker to produce a wheel for the model. The design of this wheel is similar to the proposed design of wheel suggested for the rationalised senior range, which was based on the design of wheel submitted by G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Paulin. We may not necessarily finally adopt this design of wheel, but feel it is a good chance to see what it will look like. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. please note this is a model maker's drawing only and no detailing will be required. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J.
