| Re L-E type bodies. X393 W to S. 30/10/12 TBB7/L301012 Mr Oldham Mr Johnson wishes you to be advised as follows:- If a customer requires an exact duplicate of our L-E type car and wishes to obtain the same speeds, then the dimensions of the seats etc. should be retained exactly as at present. If on the other hand the customer requires comfort rather than speed, then the front seat should be increased 2" or 3" in width. This recommendation is made by Mr Royce, who thinks that the front passenger is too near to the drivers elbow. | ||
