| +7740 To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 4/M14.7.25. 'X' SERIES - RADIATOR SHUTTER CONTROL ETC. X.8690 X.8250 X.8240 It is very probable that we shall want to revert to the shutter control shewn on N.sch.1854., modified however in some respects, so that we cannot say go ahead with N.sch.1854 at the present moment, but we expect to send you a drawing in the course of the next day or two. We are expecting to use the framed instruments on this series. Incidentally we expect to alter the position of the distribution box on the dashboard; and therefore slightly modify the wiring conduits, dashboard control etc. all of which we hope to send you in the course of a day or two.
