Draper - Frames}9/SW.10.1.41. MYTH. DASHBOARD MOUNTING. We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy the original of PL.442 Dashboard Mounting. The above scheme shows the dashboard mounted on Harris Bushes similar to the B.V. We have shown a proposed method of attachment to the dashboard to obtain a rigid job. The final design of the dashboard attachment however, will be done by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG when it is decided whether to produce the dashboard and foot ramp in one piece, or as separate members.
