| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. X 3066 Standardisation Sheets. BJ15/E5/10/27 Modified Controls for Shutters and Starter Carburetter - Phantom No. 8240. Agreed. Sheet returned herewith. New Controls on Instrument Board. 20 HP chassis. No.5240. Agreed. Sheet returned herewith. Please let me have a more full explanation as towhat this refers to. With regard to Mixture Control on Column, 20 HP chassis, Nos.6080/5430, please let me know more about this. I want to satisfy myself whether the alteration suggested is worth a loss of approximately £1,000 of our profits every year. Can you let me know who first suggested this alteration, namely, that the control should be on the column instead of on the dashboard. BJ. Encs. | ||
