| SECRET. 640 STEADMAN By_ [redacted] Copy to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [redacted] Expy [redacted] File [redacted] E/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}7/M.14.6.37. WRAITH III. RADIATOR STAYS. W.A. Runison We send herewith N.Sch.5169 showing the scheme for the top stays between the radiator and the dashboard. The fixing to the dashboard is shown on Lec.5173. The attachment eye on the radiator originally shown on N.Sch.5077 has been modified slightly. With respect to the tubes themselves, we have shown them as solid drawn tube, but we would like you to try them, as soon as possible, made up of wrapped tubing unseamed such as is used for making bed steads. We think this construction should be cheaper than the solid drawn tube. E/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: N.Sch.5169. | ||
