| (3) E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/MN. 1st. March, 1935. We shall have to consider the treatment of the floorboards at this point and the gas-tightening of the hole through which the lever passes, when we see you. 7. We agree to the use of the latest type Bentley luggage boot catches on this car. 8. We confirm that you will send us a full size drawing of the front bumper for this car, of which you have the wooden model. This is urgently needed. 9. We also confirm that you agreed to lend us the full size drawing of 3LEX until such time as we need another similar body. We agree that it shall not go out of our care whilst we have it. 10. We left you a print of the Scuttle Isolation, LeC 4294 showing the new side buffers which should be catered for. 11. We also left with you a print of the louvred bonnet, LeC 4367. 12. The height of the inside of the front wing must not be more than 1.75 ins. above the level top of the chassis frame, as illustrated on Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}B 129. A feature fixing this height should be put on the jig to which the wing maker can work. On 3LEX the wings at this point were too high and had to be altered. 13. It was agreed to use Sheet Aluminium garnish plates - 1/16th.inch thick to the inside of the doors to carry the window lift gear. Contd: | ||
