Honeyman - Retail orders} 77530 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M11.12.28. FRAMED PATCHES OF INSTRUMENTS. X7530 R.{Sir Henry Royce} has expressed a wish that all experimental cars, with the exception of 20-EX. and 14-G-4., be fitted with our framed patch of instruments. He does not think we should wait for a revised design in which would be included the K.S. gauge and the green lamp, but go on fitting what we have until the other is available. We think it would be wise to order immediately a dozen sets of instruments, as these would be suitable for either the present or the revised patch. As the body programme only calls for 4 more framed patches at the moment we suggest that you might only wish to make up 4 of the present design.. We shall want patches for 21EX. 22EX. 23EX.,and 16-G-4. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
