| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X. 3806 DAL/M17.9.27. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. Herewith we send N.sch. 2467 shewing a general layout of the run of the pipes on the chassis. It will be seen that we have made some slight modifications to N.sch. 2438 and some additional information is given as to the pipes on the engine. It is not intended however to shew the exact run of the pipes, as every detail has not been studied full size, and it is thought that it can best be done on an actual chassis. We should like the pipes to be concealed as much as possible, and clipped where it appears to be necessary, but as we have some other urgent work calling for immediate attention, we do not propose to send any more information on centralised chassis lubrication for the moment, unless there is anything that Derby is in doubt about.
