X.5430 o X̶.̶4̶6̶1̶3̶ X.5500 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} is sending a drawing of a plate we want you to make as quickly as possible for reinforcing the scuttle armature, for the cars being made at Barkers', and for the several cars already out belonging to us, such as 7-EX., and 10-EX (high compression blue s̶p̶o̶r̶t̶s̶ car). These two cars would make a particularly good opportunity for test. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
