| Y5500 To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C7/C 5.11.27. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG9.11.27. Attached herewith is a drg. which shews the wider dashboard which is fitted to 10-G-111 car. This car was seen by BJ. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and CWB. at Gerrards Cross and they commented on the fact that it was a nice looking car. At the time they did not know that the dash was wider than standard. We are proposing to send a standardisation sheet round for the wider dash so that it can be fitted to all 20 HP. cars as we are sure it will improve the coachwork. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, | ||
