" " DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} " " FEC. 7CA 1EX ORIGINAL X.3440 AS E4/G21/8/19. 2 RE SEMI-FLEXIBLE ATTACHMENT OF SCUTTLE TO DASHBOARD. Would you kindly note that Mr. Royce would like you to take measures to ensure that the semi-flexible attachment of scuttle to dashboard shall be used on all R.R. chassis with any type of body. This is consequent upon differences noticed between the running of chassis 1 EX. which is fitted with the semi-flexible attachment and chassis 7 CA. which has a rigid dash and scuttle.
