| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X7600 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/LGL2.3.29. Thank you for your Evl/11.3.29. I had to get into Chichester before the bank closed. Will write or wire about the 20 HP. rear either today or tomorrow. I left the 'SS{S. Smith}' Side Wheel Carrier print because I was not sure the matter was far enough advanced to put the matter before R.{Sir Henry Royce} It appears however that they do want to fit a side wheel carrier on one of the cars going to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, so it looks as though we might as well send a drawing to R.{Sir Henry Royce} explaining the circumstances and pointing out that we only provided this to enable the effect of a side wheel carrier to be tested as Sales seem certain they will fairly often want them. Would you like to write about this? Derby say 10 days for first L.H. 'SS{S. Smith}' subframe, and are taking photographs of the Barker enclosed limousine. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
