| 1010 41022 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c.c. to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}9/JH.12.3.40. Re Rippletto Frame. Attached herewith are 2 prints of PL.119 showing the second crossmember for the Rippletto frame. This will enable Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. to complete the frame section for this car. We have provided a crossmember of the Corniche type so that if so desired we may house the spare wheel horizontally above the petrol tank as drawn, should we find the Rover 10 scheme difficult to do on the B.V. body or in anyway undesirable. A filter is shewn, but it is agreed that no petrol filter in this position should be fitted to the first car, as we hope the filter on the mechanical petrol pump will be adequate. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Enclosure. 4 copies of memo. 2 prints of PL.119. | ||
