| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CH. BJ. c. to RG.{Mr Rowledge} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ORIGINAL Hsc/LGM. 8. 25. R-R LUGGAGE GRID. 78400 We find that the rail to protect the body appears to be too far back. With the rail in the present position it does not offer any protection if a rectangular luggage case is fitted. We attach herewith a sketch which shows the position.
