| To: L. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} S. From: Sp.{Mr Spinney} Sp{Mr Spinney}8/HW/25320. 25th March 1920. re 1" Higher Dash-board, Radiator & Bonnet. Derby will want to know your opinion as to the suitability of the new radiator, dash-board and bonnet as fitted to Chassis 4-EX which you inspected at Barkers' to-day. Barkers' opinion is that the modification, namely, raising all the parts one inch above the present standard, will be a slight improvement but will not give them all they want. [STAMP] RECEIVED 30 MAR 1920 [HANDWRITTEN] BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} sk I am decidedly in favour of 2" if possible which will mean 1" more than 4.Ex chassis. I think 2" should be the minimum. Please inform Derby - This is Barker's opinion also L.H.S.{Lord Herbert Scott - Chair} RDS | ||
