Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} BY.16/N.11.8.38. Re Rear Wheelarch Clearances - 2.B.50. --------------------------------------- As previously mentioned we have increased the rear track of B.50 from 58" to 59 1/2", and have raised the car one inch. This effects the rear wheelarch clearance. On PD.228 herewith, we shew the rear wheelarch clearance for B.50 and also the same particulars for B.III. The latter are changed from PD.6. due to a change in tyres and brake drums. The clearance shewn on PD.228 for B.50 should be used on 2.B.50. Will you please issue to them the print and necessary instructions. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
