| # to FH from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE WINGS E.A.C. 14. We send herewith N.Sch.2509 A&B and N.Sch.2510. We wish you to use existing pressings for the forward and intermediate wingstays if it is possible. We suggest that they would be those which we have standardised, bent approximately to the shape of the sports wing. At the coachbuilder's we will do the final setting and cut them to length. The rear stay is of special design. We shall go ahead making the wings and would be glad to have three sets of stays as soon as possible. It will be necessary to send someone down to fit them to the dummy chassis before we can fit them to the wings. It will be understood that we wish the pendulum lever cover to be that for sports cars, and that the aluminium stipping on the top of the frame should not be extended to carry the valance, as we do on production. Would you kindly send us one extra print for Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence of each of these drawings.
