| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ba/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} RECEIVED X250. E.1/HP.3.1.33. re Bensport 1st chassis with existing J.1. unit. With further reference to our memo E.5/HP.30.12.32, we wish to point out that in accordance with our scheme LeC.3316 it is necessary to change over the ignition and throttle controls on scheme FB.66 of the steering column, and so far as we are aware this can be done when erecting the steering column by simply interchanging the position of the levers concerned. We would also remind you that the marking of the mixture control should be as specified in our memo E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}7/HP.19.12.32.
