| R.R. 235a (100 T) (S.H. 159. 11-8-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 X8380? TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M26.11.25. Referring to your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG231125., we received the experimental reports simultaneously with your note. Regarding the front holding down bolts of the subframe we would like to know exactly how these failed. The only real load they take is tension, and this is limited by a spring. We feel that they must have chafed through. Could you let us have some further information before we do anything. With reference to the luggage grid we shall no doubt send you some information some time in the future. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
