| - 2 - judge, a fairly good idea of what the driver sees when he is sitting at the steering wheel, and the dials have been so placed as to be available for inspection with the minimum of detraction of the driver's attention from the road. This gives a somewhat unbalanced effect with regard to the instrument board as a whole, but no doubt it would be possible to divide the board into two halves by means of some scheme of panel work and utilise the left hand side for a cubby hole, wireless etc. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
