To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x7420 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/LG19.12.28.

19-EX CAR. x7005

We require solid front engine feet on this
car and the adjustable support behind the gearbox.

The brakes on this car are also useless.

Will you please fit 30° cams and the 1.275"
levers on the pedal countershaft as handed to you yesterday.

We should be obliged if you could make these
alterations before we start to fit the body.
