| R.R. 493A (50H) (D.B. 175 25-9-24) J.H.D. EXPERIMENTAL REPORT. Expl. No. X8770 REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG19.5.25. To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE. DOUBLE ENCLOSED LIMOUSINE 9-PK - (BARKERS). We will arrange to send you a pair of General Trade Licence Plates for 9-PK. This will enable you to carry passengers, for any tests to be made, and the car to be used, if necessary, by LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} We want to point out that the side levers on 9-PK are only temporary. The brake lever is actually made as a boss welded on to it. We think it is quite safe but we want you to be aware of it. At the time it was done, it was thought that the car would only be used for conveying bodies. Will you please let us know when you require the number plates and to where they should be despatched?
