| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ) WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}) re. CONTROLS ON STEERING COLUMN. This is to confirm an agreement made at the conference at WW. prior to the holiday, that the RR. cars will have the modified controls as on J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3., and Peregrine, but with modifications to the shapes of the knobs and move-ment of the dimming switch as outlined by SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} We have to send you a design for this. For Bentley we shall use the same interior mechanism, but with a cover and knobs resembling existing Bentley. We have to send you a design of this, and therefore the design - N. sch. 3505. - should not be worked to. The modified designs will follow in the course of about a week.
