| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X 5800 Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}7/29.4.29. Re : 16-C4. X5530 X5830 X5800. The Barker Close Coupled Allweather will be completed in about a week's time. So far we have been unable to make the instrument board, as we have received no instruments. These were called for in DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/M18.12.28. These instructions assumed the original framed patch of instruments. If we can we would like to have the revised patch. Will you kindly wire us whether you are sending any instruments to Barkers or whether we shall leave you to make the board.
