| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CJ. BJ. c. to RG.{Mr Rowledge} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} +8400 R-R LUGGAGE GRID. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG21.8.25. We find that the rail to protect the body appears to be too far back. With the rail in the present position it does not offer any protection if a rectangular luggage case is fitted. We attach herewith a sketch which shows the position. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
