| X. 8460 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}: c. to CJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/M3.10.25. PHANTOM PETROL TANK. Herewith we send N.sch.2060 shewing the new side filler for the above tank. The end of the tank is to be reinforced by a stiffener on the lines of that at present used. It will be noticed that we have altered the details of the central suspension, reducing them in size and weight. We have also increased the size of the vent pipe. As the appearance and convenience of this filler is a matter of considerable importance, could a tank be built up as quickly as possible for the purpose of being approved from this point of view? Would you kindly send a print of N.schs. 2051, 2059 and 2060 to H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
