(12) 25 HP. FLOORBOARDS. We have already suggested that the 1st. horizontal board should stop short before it reaches the servo, so that the gash for the servo and for the change speed mechanism comes into the centre of the 2nd. board. We think this 2nd. board should be supplied by ourselves as it is a board which is badly cut away and needs careful treatment. We do not remember authorising the discontinuance of this board. We should not have agreed to it.
