| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}16/AP.17.12.36. The Bumper Bar on the next 10,000 miles test car will be fitted with rubber washers between the weights as suggested by Wilmots, and if this is satisfactory we shall be able to standardise this as it will be cheaper and in line with Wilmot's new standard practice. Therefore, we suggest that we should avoid having new dies made if possible. The dies have not yet been ordered. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
