King Esq., Rolls-Royce Ltd., Motor Car Division, Crewe. Dear Mr. King, PROPOSED NEW SMALLER ONE PIECE OVERIDER In accordance with my promise, I have today despatched the further pair of Overiders with less severe radii at the top, and the Backplate fitted. There is one point I feel I should bring to your attention. At the bottom of the Overider the samples have been reduced in overall depth, or in other words pushed upwards. On production however, we should have to stick to the bottom form, as shown in red on the attached drawing. We await your reactions and instructions with great interest. Yours sincerely, (W.
