| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X4242 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG7.2.24. 20 HP. STARTING HANDLE. With reference to BJ1/Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2.24 attached. We are sending a copy of this note to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}, as before we could ascertain what the increase in cost would be, it would be necessary to get out a satisfactory design. This will also be interesting to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} because as it stands at present, the EAC. car has a detachable starting handle. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
