| D/BP Sft{Mr Swift} EXT/Scn. G/Nb. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. 86051. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} 5/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2. 2. 34. RE: CHASSIS NO. B-171-AE. CAPT. ERIC BURT. With reference to D/BP/HF.{H. W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector}4/OG. 2.2.34. we are not quite clear in regard to this customer's requirements. If the speedometer and revolution counter are to be provided with a glass and bezel so that they can be mounted on the instrument board separately, similar to our original arrangement of separate instruments, we do not see how they can be illuminated unless it is proposed to use separate dash lamps.
