We send herewith N.sch. 3608. shewing the modified plate on the sloping floorboard of N.sch. 3563 necessitated by the change to the J.L. engine. For all other particulars N.sch. 3563 still applies. We also send herewith N.sch. 3609 shewing a layout of the gearbox and clutch casing shewn in elevation in the chassis in conjunction with the floor and body. The position on the gearbox is that already given to you by a memo. The body shewn is that which we shall deliver to you for the first two cars and has been taken from the coachbuilder's full size drawing. We believe that we have now completed the instructions for the floor supplied with the chassis. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
