| X4602 PN.{Mr Northey} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn3/H13.10.23. re. New 20-HP Demonstration Car. With reference to your memo PN{Mr Northey}5/DN/10.10.23 to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} which he has passed on to us to deal with - it is suggested that the new Demonstration Cars should be allotted from amongst the first 20-HP chassis to be made fitted with R.O.1 magnetos complete, and with the Torque reaction damping device. We think that if erecting instructions could be sent through now for whatever new Demonstration Cars are required, by the time these are erected, these features can be incorporated. P.S. Also propose fixing new camshaft if standardised. Will Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} please push for standard R.P. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. | ||
