| X.4085. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/M20.6.23. GOS. SPARE WHEEL CARRIER DUST COVER - N.sch.1366. X.4085. We have sent one of these on 4-G-11., and Mr. Royce has remarked that he does not like the whole thing electro-plated, and thinks that it is too heavy. We would therefore like you to make the dust cover of sheet aluminium possibly .048" thick, and the whole to be black enamelled.
