RE FRAMED INSTRUMENTS.
-----------------

Referring to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M27.10.27., it is questionable in view of BJ's remarks at a conference at Derby a short time ago whether we should fit the grouped instruments to a demonstration car.

Cost figures showing the comparison between the present standard instruments and the grouped instrument scheme were submitted to BJ. under cover of our memo reference BY3/G.27.10.27., and it would help us if you could discuss the matter with BJ. and obtain his ruling on the question of fitting the grouped instruments to demonstration cars.
