| To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from BJ. 20 HP. Pedals nearer the Dash. Standardisation Sheet. BJ2/E15/6/26 Copy to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} I have just signed a standardisation sheet No.5470, authorising that pedals on the 20 HP on the raked steering shall be 2 ins. nearer the dash - the steering column is shortened to suit. This gives more body space without increase in weight. It will mean alterations to coachbuilders' instructions. I have written to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} as attached. Please look into the matter and let Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} know what is the earliest date on which you can accept chassis of this design from Works. BJ. Enc. Copy of BJ1/E15/6/26 | ||
