With reference to my discussion with you of the scheme I proposed some time ago for a tell-tale indicating when the direction indicators were operated, this was referred to in your note E.7/HP.25.1.34., and a further note was received in reply from Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} reference Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}8/KW.31.1.34., which in the final paragraph stated - "we certainly think this a refinement which would be greatly appreciated by those who drive our cars." I should be glad to know if you will consider the possibility of introducing the scheme on the new SpectreCodename for Phantom IIIs. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
