| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5830 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG29.12.26. 20 HP. BODY. X5830 Attached is a copy of EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/23.12.26. We strongly recommend that you keep R.{Sir Henry Royce}, through DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}, in close touch with the Barkerlite body. We think it is a body which will have a much greater chance of being a success if Barkers receive criticisms and suggestions from the engineers. We had imagined that the Barkerlite body was to be fitted to an experimental 20HP., and in that case of course DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} would have been responsible to see that the lines and dimensions would satisfy R.{Sir Henry Royce} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
