| ORIGINAL BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} R.{Sir Henry Royce} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} PHANTOM 2. AND 25HP. EXHAUST TAIL PIPES. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/W5.6.31. x 7230 x 5230. With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/MJ 2631., we presume the increased cost of the WW. scheme is due to the hinged support provided in this case, and not - if our information is correct - in the case of the Derby scheme. From the indications on the car here this support appeared to be very necessary. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
