Hanbury - Head Complaints} 27.3.25. ************* "W" SERIES MATERIAL. ***************** Further to my memo BY10/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 24.3.25. instructing the material for "W" Series up to a certain point, please note that I have now received CJ's consent to including as variations from "V" Series, the following improvements:- 1. Radiator of increased height, with shutters made integral with radiator frame. 2. Dashboard of increased dimensions with the new parts which would be called for under such conditions. 3. Bonnet of increased dimensions to suit new radiator and dashboard. Incidentally, I would agree that it will of course mean the type of Autovac Tank originally arranged for the increased dashboard. There are other changes of course, namely, the method of carrying the Klaxon Horn, which will be simplified, one bracket being sufficient for the three types of steering. Will each Department notify one another of any special features which will be incorporated in view of the changes specified. Mr.Booth should note that we have not included the following items:- 1. New frame side member. 2. New tank. 3. New luggage grid. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
