| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} x4264 GOSHAWK 11. RE TYPE OF STEERING. The pedals and steering which West WitteringHenry Royce's home town were pushing most were B type - we have now obtained particulars of D type - apparently there are only two positions being catered for. Have you any definite idea what is required for the six chassis we propose to build, do you think we should order three chassis B and three chassis D? In regard to the first chassis, we have instructed B type, and take it that this will meet with West WitteringHenry Royce's home town's requirements, as they appear to be more interested in the B type by doing this first before D. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} BY. {R.W.
