| URGENT X5530 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/6.7.28. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to EL. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE FRAMED PATCH OF INSTRUMENTS. FIRST INDIA 3. We thank Derby for their wire to the effect that they have no sets of framed instruments and cannot supply a set for the ffrst India 3 chassis for Mr. Royce. When he was informed of this tonight he was very annoyed. We must get hold of a set of these if at all possible. What happened to the six sets originally instructed for use on experimental and trials cars? We know that Sales have one and one is on 14.EX. If Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has one which we can have will he kindly wire me by return. Also, will Derby please say how long it would take to get a set made up. As this matter is very urgent we would be glad if anyone can give us information or assistance. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
