| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} +8600 RL/M24.11.26. 7-EX. X. 8600 X. 235 X. 8992 If possible will you fit one of the spare wheel carriers at the back, for when there is no luggage, correct auto advance, and possibly a still slower worm or hydraulic damper. If this latter is not ready could it be prepared for one? The speedometer drive is unsteady: is it correct for these tyres? Is the lean of the axle the same as 8-EX? R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
