| To EY. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/an. X7430 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LC9.3.28. X7500 X7430 CONTINENTAL PHANTOM - CAST DASH. You will see from the reports of our tests in France that the cast dash is insufficiently rigid to carry the steering column. Modifications will therefore have to be made to this item. Will you please hold up the production of the cast dash until we have some further designs. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
