On the phone EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} made the following remarks as the result of my memo to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} (BY.8/G.25.9.31) on Monday, Sept. 28th.-

(1) We must fit the scheme of the stay from the dash for all normal bonnets.

(2) Experimental should give special attention to the design for supporting the frame from the dashboard as sketched in DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M.8.9.31.

(3) If (2) proves a failure then WW. will have to give this matter further attention and provide a member passing under the clutch case for use with long bonnets.

BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}
