| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} V5080 E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} 3/HP.3.10.32. Please receive herewith:- LeC.3224 - showing the lever from the normal vertical position to 45° on the right-hand side. At the request of R. {Sir Henry Royce} we have permitted the lever to be weakened two notches past normal. Since on this car the carburetter governor has been deleted, the word "throttle" will now be marked on the quadrant instead of governor. The reason for these changes is explained in E.5/HP.1.10.32.
