| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Cg 4737 10-EX. ORIGINAL 27. Sep. 1926 X8774 X8170 R2/M25.9.26. It will be necessary (when this car is having the new splashers fitted) for the scuttle to be stiffened to prevent jellying, which is particularly bad on this chassis, and noisy due to creaking badly around the instrument board. I cannot spare this car until 7-EX. is returned, which I hope will not be long, as we are expecting bad weather any time now. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
