| W/S. To C. From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7230. Hsl/MJ.6.12.29. EXHAUST HEATED THROTTLE. Replying to C2/C5.12.29. We have fitted a scheme which we recommend for use on existing Phantom 11 cars, to 18-EX. car. Before the parts are fitted up we shall have to get R's approval as they are not made to W.W. design. We propose bring 18-EX to London on Tuesday next for Sales officials to try before it leaves for France. It will then go on to W.W. We will then get R.{Sir Henry Royce} to approve of the scheme.
