TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce}
7-EX.
ORIGINAL
R1/M24.11.26.
X8600
X8992
X235
If possible will you fit one of the spare wheel carriers at the back, for when there is no luggage, correct auto advance, and possibly a still slower worm or hydraulic damper. If this latter is not ready could it be prepared for one? The speedometer drive is unsteady: is it correct for these tyres? Is the lean of the axle the same as 8-EX?
R. {Sir Henry Royce}
