| To Roy. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} from DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X.4547 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3/M19.9.24. We thank you for the booklet and letters concerning Messrs. Noble's Industries products. We note that Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has some enamels providing a good egg shell black finish, and we suggest that a Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. steering colum quadrant be blacked and tested, as this is the one fitting where the black enamel at present used seems to rapidly come off.
