| To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y5900 Hsl/LG8.7.26. RE. 20 HP. CHASSIS - No. 1644. X5830 We are certain, that whatever body is fitted to this chassis, it will be criticised by R. {Sir Henry Royce} , and we think it will be as well if DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} was consulted and made responsible for this body. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} has also previously controlled a 20 HP. chassis with similar steering and pedals as we are going to fit to 1644. We think the seating should be made right without the loose cushion, but this is a matter we recommend we should leave entirely to DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
