| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8009 Re. Sq and 4-B-50 The complaint from Sq that the Near side rear seating position was over hot, is justified. We are instructing a shield to be made to cover the twin exhaust boxes which are placed immediately underneath the rear seat-board. We found that after a high speed run that the seat board over the exhaust was too hot to hold, and that the heat has unstuck all the trimming covering the metal-work. [Signature] F.D. | ||
