| TO ~~BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}~~ FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} SECRET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M17.9.24. Copy to - ~~GI.~~ " " - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. 11. X8500 X8240 DASHBOARD ARRANGEMENT. We send herewith N. Scheme 1847, shewing the layout of the dashboard which is reduced in width and height, in accordance with recent developments. We have also indicated the new position of the radiator shutter control, and the starting carburetter control. The fittings for the wiring conduits around the dash require slight modification in order to get them into the rather narrow spaces, and the vacuum tank requires a new shape to give clearance round the exhaust pipe. We will also ~~have~~ had to find a new position for the klaxon. [Illegible purple stamp] DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
