HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Copy to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X8530 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M16.12.27. FRAMED PATCH OF INSTRUMENTS - SPORTS CAR. While we understand that we have been asked by the Administration not to fit the framed patch of instruments on the Sports car, we do not understand this to apply to the experimental sports cars which we are now building, and we would be glad if you would arrange for these cars to be so fitted. Would you kindly send to Lillie Hall three of the frames into which the patch goes, so that these may be let into the instrument boards.
