Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/MH.{M. Huckerby}22.8.39. CAST-IN STARTER PASSAGE - B.V. With reference to the attached report, will you please see that the modification necessary is carried out on production cars as soon as possible. We think precautions should be taken that when a part is instructed to be made as required it should not be fitted on production until it has first been tested and passed off by the Experimental. We know that in this case, the Corniche was rather a special job and so has been made ahead of the experimental. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
