It does not appear desirable to produce more than two of the above, and certainly not to fit more than one to a chassis. My reasons for making the above remarks are that it is very probable that the first chassis which are fitted up will have to do demonstration runs. If this is the case, we do not wish to commit ourselves to this special grouped scheme, until Sales have definitely satisfied themselves that they approve of it, and that it is to be fitted. The spare group are to be supplied to Sales for criticism directly the unit can be produced. By BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
