'Vulture' Petrol Tank. Herewith is N. Sch. 3903 arrangement of the petrol tank for the first Vulture chassis. It is intended that the coachwork shall be so controlled around the filler and tank as to enable the rubber joint to be disconnected and to close up the gap in the wing effectively and neatly. It is understood that EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} is looking into this. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
