| -4- R {Sir Henry Royce} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 4/EH. 14.10.36. We agree that on examining the full sized drawing it would appear possible to use a Berkshire triple-blade wiper on this car, as you appear to have got approximately 3" between the top of the steering wheel and the inside of the screen glass. We have no objection to trying this wiper, although as pointed out in a previous memo, we are not convinced that it is a very practical way of dealing with condensation on the inside of the screen. You have now all the information necessary to enable you to complete this body and also to make a complete dummy chassis. We would be glad if you would go ahead with this work as quickly as possible, notifying us of any difficulties which you may encounter. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
