| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten]: 4081 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/LG13.11.25. SWITCHBOX. [Handwritten, struck-through]: X. 4081 X 8730 The standardisation sheet for the switchbox entering from the back of the instrument board was completed just 2 yrs. ago. The instruments at present on R's car are only dummy instruments which were put on in order to get the car to the coachbuilders. You realise that the instrument board on that car is a special job. The correct switch which has been sent down for this car will go in from the back. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
