| X104 To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}2/KT.28.5.32. PEREGRINE 1st BODY AND 2- J.3. BODY. With reference to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M25.5.32. and DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M25.5.32. we suggest that London should supply all the accessories for the above bodies (as enumerated in the above quoted memos) with the exception of the electric horns. With regard to windscreen wipers, we very much prefer the Lucas R.W.1 type of dual wiper to the Berkshire and hope that they will be fitted. If London will agree to this we will immediately on receiving confirmation, order two Lucas H.F.722 electric horns. We prefer London to order the Lucas windscreen wipers and have them delivered to the coachbuilders so that they can be fitted before the bodies are collected by us.
