| - 9 - GENERAL (cont) 2. Remote Control of Gearbox. The vacuum control is being fitted on 35-EX but is not yet finished. 3. Continental Phantom III It was decided to scrap this chassis No.39-EX, and that the body should be handed over to S. for using up as and when possible. 4. R-R Radiator. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} raised the question of this design one day having to be altered, taking the view that we cannot say that we shall NEVER alter this, and whilst it may not come about in the immediate future it was felt that the matter must and should receive some consideration. M.Paulin is being asked to make suggestions in this direction, and let us see what sort of recommendations he can put forward. 5. Mellotone Horns It was stated that these are considered unsatisfactory for use in France, and that Sr and Export Dept. should be informed that if necessary we are prepared to send chassis or cars over without horns so that they can fit horns to their own choice if they wish. | ||
