GRY{Shadwell Grylls} W.M.Rhu/SMD{J. Smedley} BENTLEY 111. Please receive herewith the following schemes :- F.CD.10 Starting Handle and Front Bumper Brackets. F.CD.30 Front Bumper. These schemes show the shape and fixing of the front bumper, the front cross member and starting handle bearing and the shape of the frame at the front end. It will be seen that the bumper brackets also carry the pad to which the hydraulic jacks are attached. It is suggested that a bumper bar to F.CD.30 should be made up for incorporation in the appearance mock-up, so that the slightly novel shape may be approved. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
