| To JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} +bid Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW. 8.5.35. Fedden's Car. Fedden's car should be at Park Wards on Friday May 10th. Attached is a list of his coachwork complaints. He has complained bitterly about the headlamp dipping reflectors flickering. It is probable that the fitting of the bumper bar and dropped cross member will overcome this complaint, but at the same time we should like you to make sure that the headlamps as fitted are the best that Lucas's can do. B-10-DG has been delayed but will be at Park Wards to-night, the 8th inst. Besides the modification to the position of the mirror, and the ventilating window rattle, Park Wards will doubtless want to look round the body to make adjustments. There is a suggestion of a rattle coming from the nearside front door. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
