[Text struck through] Copy to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} -Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}- Referring to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M10.10.30 we should like to see the modification referred to introduced, but before definitely agreeing to it we think it wise actually to see and try a car with the column arranged in the manner indicated. I should, therefore, be glad to know how soon Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} can carry out the suggestion made in the last paragraph of the DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} memo. quoted.
