| R R 235 B (200 T) (S.F. 674. 22-5-19) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2376. To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} boontin. E2/G24.4.20. Contd. P.S. Mr. Royce is inclined to think that the front portion of the frame opposite the front springs looks rather weak in depth compared with the main portion of the frame which is 7" deep, and he would like you to have the side channels drawn out, and if you think the front portion looks weak, to add about 10%. He would like to see further, a blue print of the complete side channel shewing all the information up-to-date. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
