E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} He/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}5/KT.11.1.33. X4037. STEERING POSITIONS - PEREGRINE. E V1/9.1.33. We agree that the 'E' Type Steering column position on Peregrine is suitable for all types of bodies. We have examined this on the various types of body which we have, viz:- close coupled saloons and four door saloons - and find that the adjustment provided on the 'E' column is sufficient to cater for the upright position required for the four door saloon body, and for the raked position required for the close coupled bodies. The 'D' Type column can therefore be abandoned. He/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
