| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to - BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} +7250 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M16.5.28. 15-EX. X.7770 X.7430 X.7380 X.7250 You told us that 15-EX will be rebuilt as an ordinary chassis, not a sports chassis, and that it will have a long frame. We think it would be well for you to fit this car with the new proposed radiator, bonnet and dash which we intend to use on G.2.B. series, and that it should have an 'E' steering column. Although we have not fixed up with Sales exactly what E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} type steering will be, we do know that it will be not more than 2" lower than 'D' type, and possibly will be 1 1/2". Our 4" lower than 'D', or the sports steering, will still have a separate identity, and will be in no way connected with E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} steering.
