| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 25HP. FRAME ETC. RECEIVED 1 NOV 1930 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL x5370. x5380. We send herewith N. scheme 3162. shewing a re-arrangement of the cross members and brake gear etc to reduce, or avoid, the pots in the frame that have been complained of on 18-G-4. It will be noticed that there are very few new parts, this proposal being to take the existing parts and re-arrange them in somewhat better positions so that the propeller shaft may not push the cross members so far into the body. We shew the 2.5" dia. propeller shaft. It is desired that this should be fitted to 18-G-4. and the resulting modifications made to the body to remove the pots before this car is shewn to SG.{Arthur F.
