| c. to Ip. -> c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at W. B-4-B-1V. x204 HnS/I/5-10-34. Dictated 4-10-34. With reference to Evl/IH.3.10.34, I have had a word with Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} and it has been decided as follows:- 1. We will do our best to obtain a Klaxon wiper with an area of 135 degrees wipe and, if successful, will have it fitted to this car. 2. We do not think it worth while going to the expense of having this body treated with "Silento" if, as we understand is the case, the Experimental Dept. has a Bentley car with a body so treated. 3. We do not think this the most suitable car on which to try out latex cushions or other body novelties. Moreover Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has already indicated that, except for the modifications to which he has agreed, the body should be standard, so we have told Park Wards that the cushions and squabs should be of the normal type and that the sliding seat mechanism should be the standard. 4. We have told Park Wards that, provided it does not increase the price, we are agreeable to there being vertical inner edges to the wing mud lips because their use on GZU-24 appears to have definitely established the fact that they help to keep the car clean and we intend to try to get them on the next batch of Standardised bodies. 5. As Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has condemned interior driving mirrors, we shall arrange for this car to be fitted with one to the exterior, as is usual. Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
