Copy to - [REDACTED] - [REDACTED] - [REDACTED] [Handwritten] X8830 [Handwritten] X8380 To me it is absolutely necessary to at once get on the new side levers which are so much neater for room, and give the coachbuilders a chance to make a neat and strong scheme past them. They also permit the use of the steel underframe. The body you are proposing for my use - i.e. open, with glass windows, and Beatonson head, (light cabriolet) with 4 doors must be built on our steel underframe. I do not know what is delaying this. Will AJS. and DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} report? R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
