| SECRET. To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Chassis - Tool Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Box in Dash. BY.G.La. {L. A. Archer} EVz Thanks for E.1/IP.2.3.35. I am sorry to note that we cannot have tool accommodation under the bonnet in the way previously discussed. Arising out of our former discussions I thought there was some waste space at the point in question but, whilst I gather from your memo. that such is the case on the Daimler, it is not so with us. Next time I am at Derby, perhaps you could show me the drawing so that you can explain to me exactly why it is that we cannot have the scheme which I think Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} put forward. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
