B.V., B.50., and Silver Wraith Steering, Pendulum Levers. It is urgent that we should produce a strengthened design of steering lever for the above cars and I am asking Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} to do so forthwith. If possible he should try to rationalise the design in order to cover the series with two or three levers. We should like someone to discover and bring to Clan Foundry any of the original dies which may exist as they may influence our design action. Could you kindly arrange for this to be done.
