X7430. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Dal/M24.7.31. X.7240 X.7430. P.2. LOWERED CONTROLS. Referring to N.sch.3316., R.{Sir Henry Royce} would like a mock up of the scheme made and sent down here for examination. He suggests that first one of the little units - viz. lever and finger grip should and a pair of plate springs mounted on their tube end brackets, should be made to see how it functions. Then the mock up of the whole scheme might follow. The matter is regarded as rather urgent. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
