Messrs.Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Dear Sirs, Re: 2.B.50. We wish the cushions and squabs of this car to represent the highest degree of luxury and comfort that we know how to obtain, and we would like to return to the type of trimming where the piping is at the top of the cushion, so as to avoid the tension in the leather of the cushion upper face. Plain centres and square trim may be used. With respect to the air duct to the scuttle, Mr.Dodd explained to you a scheme which he has tested. We shall be sending you a set of rubber containers for the tools in the luggage boot lid.{A. J. Lidsey} As already supplied previously, the clock mirror which we have sent to you for this car should go on the top of the screen. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
