| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to - BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/M30.4.27. PHANTOM - BATTERY IN THE FRAME. X7536 We send herewith. schemes 2396/2388/2389/2400/2401.., shewing the proposed divided battery in the frame for the Phantom. N. sch. 2400. shews a general arrangement of the proposal. N. sch. 2396. is the proposed divided battery. We believe that the capacity of the cells is the same as the present 40/50. Would you kindly confirm this? In the bottom R.H. corner we have indicated how the existing 40/50 battery could be built up in two parts to represent the final moulded piece and used in the experiment. We suggest that this should be done so/as to save cost of the mouldings at this stage of the experiment. N. schs. 2388/89. shew the construction of the sheet metal box following the lines of that on EAC. 7. Would BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} kindly send us an extra print of N. sch. 2400. for submission to London. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
