RE CHASSIS DESIGN Attached is a report on the progress of chassis design for the fortnight ending 21st Octr. 1939. The four cylinder engine designs- 2.8.Litre. 4 Cylr. are now complete, with the exception of the dip stick and breather. P.L. 27. which has only a few days work required on it. We do not propose to deal with the engine controls until we have a definite decision as to the car it will be fitted to, and some bed testing has been done. We are ready to do the details of the head and crankcase as soon as you can fix this up. | ||
