DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M23.4.25. BARKER-BEATON TORPEDO FOR MR. ROYCE. We discussed this car with R.{Sir Henry Royce} yesterday, and he seems anxious that we should push ahead with this job as quickly as possible. We would therefore be glad if you could arrange for Barkers to have the official order, so that we can start work on the job and discuss the details. We would like to hear from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} when he can let us have a subframe. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
