| To B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3908 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG30.8.26. Overheating in interior of Phantom Cars. X8230 Answering your BJS/D25.8.26. There are certain difficulties in the way of us fixing exhaust lagging to the chassis itself. In asking coachbuilders to lag the underside of the floorboards, we are not asking them for any more than that which must ^(& has) be carried out under the rear seats. We will however take this matter up with WW. and ask them whether they will prepare a suitable design. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
