| To B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ✓ Handwritten: X7260 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG13.1.27 PHANTOM - BONNET & RADIATOR. Handwritten: X8260 X8250 With reference to R's recent memos in connection with the above. It would be very extravagant to produce completely the alternative schemes and then have them condemned. We suggest, as it is chiefly a matter of appearance only, we could easily arrange mock up pieces for this purpose. We propose that DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} and Sales officials visit Derby and that we endeavour to come to some agreement as regards a proposal to put up to R.{Sir Henry Royce} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}! | ||
