| x304 DOPD TO H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} FROM EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} COPY TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE EXPERIMENTAL LIMOUSINE" 31.EX. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/13.12.34. Our note to the effect that the body for 31.EX. will be ready for collection on Thurday afternoon still holds good. We tried the Latex Cushions and Squabs, they are extremely good indeed. The spring cushions and squabs will not be ready for me to try until tomorrow morning. We have received the model of the streamline lamp and a patern is in hand. We have no particulars for the position of the scuttle isolation bolt holes. These have not to be drilled until the body is mounted but the position ought to be known so that no screws are put at these places. Could. we have a drawing of this for the second body. Unless someone is coming down from Derby tomorrow to see the body when it is finally put together I shall stay and see it loaded because someone ought to see that all the bits are put on a that the weighing is carried out properly. There looks like being a terrific rush at the as usual. The window lifts when they came in were not correct to drawing and we have had to alter them all. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
