X. 8430 X. 205 Mr. Royce is very anxious that his car should have the large dia. irreversible worm in combination with the damped pendulum lever. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} suggests that these parts could be fitted after the chassis returns from the coach-builders, which would have the advantage that you could be preparing these special parts while the chassis was away, and there would probably be no delay either to the chassis going to the coachbuilders or in getting these parts on.
