| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EY. X.8400 Hsl/LG14.5.26. RR. LUGGAGE GRID. We have recently completed a standardisation for Luggage Grid on the Phantom. When you were last at Derby you promised that you would arrange that there should be some guides fixed to the luggage grid for straps. We think these are essential. In every case where the luggage grid has been used on the car, we have had to fit them temporarily. We recommend that EY. does not send out any of these luggage grids until the guides for straps are fitted. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
