Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.18/KW.18.10.35.

On previous specifications sent through for work to be done on Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car when it comes in, there has been no mention of which cylinder head and induction pipe are to be used.

To correct this we send you this memo. Will you please use the existing cylinder head fitted to the car, and fit Ex.18316 induction pipe and Ex.18317 exhaust manifold - one set of pipe and manifold is at present part-machined. This will necessitate fitting an Ex.18906 (.150" thick) packing plate under the cylinder block.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.S.Steadman.
