| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & BY Copy DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL X4267 10/3/22 RE FRONT SEATS OF 10 H.P. D.F.P. Y4262 We send herewith a sketch showing the required position of the Steering wheel on this CAR. Will Derby please return us a point immediately. We suggest that the column may be swung down, after unscrewing the support on the footboards, keeping the pendulum lever still, & allowing the steering wheel to revolve. It is hoped that a suitable position of the wheel spokes can be arrived at. We would like this new steering column position & dimension to the compressed cushion to be used on the rough wooden body being made at Derby - as we are about to instruct a proper body and would like to test the seating position before doing so. We are obtaining a print of the above & will let you have same as soon as possible. [Initial/Signature] [Stamp: RECEIVED Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} MAR 3 1922] | ||
