| DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5830 BYZ/G.11.7.28. BODY DRAWING - SECOND HOOPER SEDANCA. Referring to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M3.7.28. and N. Sch. 2617 your references on the left hand are incorrect. N.Sch.2620 was the original scheme for R's Coupe Limousine without subframe, and therefore the reference here should be N. Sch. 2614. Similarly the third reference 'Body to be built on the R.R. patent subframe N. Sch.2617' should read 'N. Sch. 2614.' You will of course remember that you have supplied us with a special body for R's car without subframe. The third India/3 we understand will have a special subframe, which differs again from the one under discussion. I am particularly raising the issue in case it should happen that you have supplied blueprints to Sales or Hoopers, as if so it will be necessary to correct the notes as above. BY.{R.W.
