Further to BY/NS.{Norman Scott}3/G.23.11.38. we have now had a report from GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}, who states that the above scheme is satisfactory when fitted to chassis. A final report cannot be issued until the chassis in question have been on the road for some further period. Will you in the meantime please produce detail drawings of the new parts and instruct 50 sets so that additional experience can be obtained. The band at the end of the spring legs should be reduced from .150 to .100 wide. BY/NS.{Norman Scott} | ||
