X. 8430 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}8/M22.10.25. EAC. SEATING POSITIONS. We send herewith N.sch.2070 shewing the seating positions with revised positions of pedals, and revised steering column on the above chassis. We shew the positions of the steering column, pedals, and side levers. Will Derby please set out the full size details of the latter from these particulars? They are of course of the subframe type. We shall supply information regarding the pedals. It will be noticed that on the 'B' position we shew an 18" steering wheel. This is in accordance with Mr. Royce's instructions, as he does not approve of the use of the 17" wheel. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
