| -4- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}12/MH.{M. Huckerby}21.7.39. It is quite evident that a mock up scuttle will have to be made in Derby. We will ask Park Wards to supply a pair of door pillars and a scuttle panel. We gave Park Wards the necessary data concerning stiffness measurements yet they returned the car to us no stiffer than before. We can hardly expect them to build us a stiff scuttle unassisted and they are too far away to work with. We shall start the work immediately after the holidays. We would like By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} to help us obtain the door pillars etc. as soon as possible. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
