| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} +7380 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M26.4.26. EAC.7. REAR END. X.7770 X.9720 X.7400 X.7380 X.9380 Herewith we send N.sch.2168/69/70., shewing the rear end of the EAC.7. chassis. N.sch.2168 deals with the rear dumb irons and after shackle. The centralised lubrication is going to be dealt with as a separate item. N.sch.2169 shews the petrol tank and support with the number plate, tail lamp bracket, and some views of the luggage carrier. N.sch.2170 gives a plan of the luggage carrier and particulars of the rear gusset. We think the only comments that we need make on this are the gusset is not the same type as that used on EAC.1. and we think will present very much less difficulty both in making and in erecting. It also is more convenient from the coachbuilding point of view. The rear cross member has been altered from EAC.1. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
