| X5770. S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re- 20/25 h.p.Chassis - Second Half of T.Series. I have already received various notifications from time to time of modifications that will be introduced in the above Series. A lot of these items are incorporated in a list which you have sent to Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} showing what parts are to be fitted on 19-G-4. On that car, however, there will be apparently a certain number of items of which I have so far had no news, and I would be glad if you could tell me if they are to be introduced in the second half of T series, or if not, when it is proposed they should become standard. The items are as follow :- Magneto and dynamo drives Phantom scheme. Rear Silencer. Phantom type (freer exhaust) Radiator shutters (new type spherical mounting). Shock dampers (split piston/type). Nitroalloy wearing pads front and rear. GEARBOX. One bracket for three selector shafts. Steel housings for ball races. Deleted ball bearings direct into case. These are what I call the important items which appear on your list. There are one or two other items also mentioned of which I have had no previous notification- namely, Standard slipper wheel, Water pump combined cover and bend to cheapen production I would be glad to have your reply on these points at your early convenience.
