INSTRUMENTS.

2 schemes for rationalised instruments - one for the Bentley and one for Rolls-Royce - have been agreed on. However, no drawings have appeared yet incorporating the results of this agreement. FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} will contact SV. and extract some drawings from him.

FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} will have a go at getting better lighting.

SEATING POSITIONS.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} will arrange to discuss the finalised column lengths and seating positions.

PEDALS.

Sym. admitted that he was responsible for pedals.

The only immediate trouble was rattling of the brake pedal in the off position. He will issue a report on what causes the trouble and what he recommends to put it right.

FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} pointed out that the seal might be responsible for the trouble.

SERVOS.

Water getting into the servo is regarded as one of the most serious problems and should receive primary consideration.

BRAKES.

The increased clearance modifications necessary to prevent brake seizure must be dealt with as soon as possible.

9.B.Y.

CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} will issue instructions for an exact specification of the engine which is going in 9.B. and collaborate with RC.{R. Childs} that the accommodation is made for the right electrical equipment.
