Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}3/RH.{R. Hollingworth}2.7.41. 1023 MYTH. FRONT BUMPER. PL.694 - We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy the original of Front Bumper. The above scheme shows the proposed design of front bumper for the Myth. In looks, it is very similar to the bumper on the model. We feel that as drawn, the Bumper is too far forwards of the front wings. We have, therefore, dimensioned the drawing to move it 1.250 rearwards. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH please notice this when detailing. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} Original to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.

Draper - Frames} to send to Wilmot-Breeden's. | ||
