| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL re. 20HP. R9/M3.5.27. X5770 X3588 We shall be wanting a 20HP. car at WW. for use and reference. Any type will do, but I should like it with a smart covered body. At the moment we could do with the Lorraine, with everything standard, but if possible with our damper on the front end of the crankshaft to avoid lower speed periods.
