IN ACCORDANCE WITH "H" SCHEME 1258. ************************ Herewith please receive one Blueprint of N. Scheme 1258, showing the model "Peregrine" chassis and Phaeton body.- It is proposed to produce one of these models, to be forwarded to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, so that Mr. Royce can see same next week. The model should be arranged with disc wheels as shown, in order to simplify the making of same, and also the inside of the body to be scalloped out so as to define the plan of the body a little more than has been done on the previous ones. In all other respects, the model should follow on the lines of those produced for the "Goshawk II" and 40/50 chassis. Kindly note, a Print of "H" Scheme 1258 has also been forwarded direct to Mr. Walker, Pattern Shop, in order that he may proceed at once, due to the urgency of the matter. BY/HEB.{H.
