| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X5830 Y5770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG31.10.27. Referring to C1/C24.10.27. I discussed this memo. briefly with R.{Sir Henry Royce} during our last visit to WW. He was of the opinion that we should do everything possible to please Mr. Geoffery Smith. At the same time however he thought that several of the items mentioned, he could easily be persuaded that they were unnecessary. We strongly recommend that as regards the body lines dashboard etc. that you discuss this matter with DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} As regards the chassis. We cannot promise anything more powerful than the standard car unless it is specially agreed to. We can supply cutout to silencer. We have now standardised the bigger tyres (6"). We can also supply smaller wheels but this would mean other alterations on the chassis parts to give reasonable ground clearance. He. Copy of C1/C24.10.27 attc. to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}'s copy. | ||
