| Y1066. #3/RMv To DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /BV from Sge [Struck through] Copy to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re Bonnets and Radiators. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 22/E29.8.29 x1066. x385 Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/MJ.27.8.29 and former corres-pondence on this subject, would you please let me know what we can now do to achieve the desired result? To bring through a chassis with a new radiator and bonnet made to a proper design means also presumably a special body, but it may be possible to alter one of the experimental chassis and its scuttle but I am not sure. A complete special car is always a difficulty because of its disposal unless it is an experimental car which is going to be kept for some time. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
