With reference to HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/AJ8531., we should like to point out that the lengthening of the bonnet has been specially arranged so as not to modify the coachwork in any way. This also applies to the universal dashboard which follows closely the proposal for J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. of which you already have a drawing.

With reference to the last item, namely wheel carriers, we have now sent you full instructions as regards this.
