UNDERSHIELD. X.5290 X.615 With reference to BY6/H14.6.26., the points mentioned have now been discussed with you verbally, and it is agreed that there have been some discrepancies all round resulting in a general lowering of the ground clearance.

We shall be sending you this design in the course of a few days. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
