To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} D/EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to Wmr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.3.1.31. Re. L.H.P.11 Chassis for R.R.A.I. Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/Zl.1.31. R.R.A.I. certainly expect all the left-hand chassis to be fitted with a backing light and stop light switch. These were fitted to a car which I told them was a model of what they would receive. As regards the Yale lock. This point was not raised when I was there, but one could see that if they have to fit bonnet locks out there they will use the yale lock and in that case they would like to use the same key as for the switch. As regards the tool kit. It is assumed that the tools which Cy. agreed to will be omitted from the tool kit. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
