To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 48420 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG9. 2. 27. 10-EX. 48420 / 48774 It has suddenly struck us that when we put the new axle on 10-EX we shall increase the front track by 1". We hope this feature will not be over-looked when making the front wings. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
