[struck through] X4293a [handwritten] X.393. X.3822. I have coblected some information and the drawing mentioned early in this memo should be printed and sent to each member receiving a copy. This shews my impression of the best commomise wecan make re "D" steering, windscreen, instrument board, seating etc. This is what I had arranged for in the new chassis with windscreen and some dimensions [handwritten: from] for PN{Mr Northey}'s open trials car. I shall be pleased if you will adopt (in altering 6.EX) these particulars as exactly as possible, as it will prove the suggested proportions for the "Buzzard" and "Vulture!!#" | ||
