Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}11/N.12.3.38. ------------------- Re: 1.B.50 - Radio. ------------------- Will you please order a Philco radio for fitting into the back of the division on/1.B.50 to replace the Motorola which we have already asked you to obtain. All previous remarks concerning the Motorola used in this position apply to the Philco i.e. the way the controls come out of the set, and whether it is possible to turn the set on its side. This car has running boards, and therefore can have a running board aerial. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
