| R.R. 493A (50 H) (D.D. 31, 12-6-25) J.H.D. EXPERIMENTAL REPORT. Expl. No. +8900 REF: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW1/LG3.11.25 To CW B. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW. 10,000 MILES (SALES) TEST CHASSIS. With reference to CWB4/LH{Mr Haworth}31.10.25. We are afraid that it will be impracticable to bend the hand brake lever to comply with your requirements, as to do so will cause the change speed lever to foul the frame. We suggest altering the scuttle would be an easier way of dealing with the job. Referring to CWB20/LHL.11.25. We have arranged that the chassis shall be fitted with standard straight-sided rims. With reference to the state of progress of the chassis. It is expected to be on test in about 10 days time. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/T.M.Warwick. | ||
