| ORIGINAL TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to R.{Sir Henry Royce} and HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M20.6.23. X4085 GOS: SPARE WHEEL CARRIER DUST COVER - N.SCH.1366. We have seen one of these on 4.G.11., and Mr. Royce has remarked that he does not like the whole thing electro-plated, and thinks that it is too heavy. We would therefore like you to make the dust cover of sheet aluminium possibly .048" thick, and the whole to be black enamelled. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
