| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7470. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/J.13.10.30. X. 7470. X. 7260. X. 5260. Replying to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M.11.10.30. The position of the experiments you ask for is as follows :- (1) Adjustable Pedal Stems. P.11. These were fitted to 26-EX. car. We are also proposing to fit them to another experimental car, 22-EX. Our intention is to issue a Std. sheet for these as soon as we have had a chance to examine 26-EX. This we hope will be within the next two or three days. (2) Concealed Bonnet Hinges. P.11. 25HP. This is fitted to 25 HP. car 18-G4., which we hope to bring to W.W. next week. So far we have not got it fitted to Phantom 11 but it is proposed that it shall go on 27-EX. car. (3) Modifications to Phantom 11 Bonnet. N.Sch.3096. These have been standardised and will be coming through on standard production cars within the next five or six weeks.
