| X 293. HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/M4.6.32. EXPERIMENTAL BODIES. To enable us to make sure that the front seats of 2-J.3., Bentley "A", and Bentley 'B', are of the correct height we would like to fit a model steering column to the dummy chassis which we have built at Park Wards. All 3 cars have the same size steering wheel, and we would be glad if you would loan us a steering wheel and worm shaft belonging to the 20/25. We can fix this up on any of the dummy chassis without much difficulty. Will you please despatch this to Park Wards. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
