| To CWB. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} X5770 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 6/LG21.6.26. 1644 - 20 HP. CAR. X5900 I do not know whether we have made it clear to you, that the new steering column which is being fitted to the 20 HP. experimental car is 2" shorter than standard and the pedals are being pushed that amount nearer the dashboard. This will mean that if a standard body is being fitted, it will probably have to be modified. Barkers should have all the dimensions because the position of column and pedals is the same as on 10-G-111 upon which they built a cabriolet body. We are however sending to you analtered coachbuilders drawing. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
