| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS. X7380. BY2/G.25.6.30. SUBFRAMES - N.2 SERIES. We have held off ordering subframes for this particular series, but we shall have to know quickly whether we are to go for the universal subframe or not. We have some 42 pairs of side members for the old type which we could of course use up for the start of N.2 series, but after that it seems to me we certainly ought to go for the universal type of subframe, and so far as we can see it certainly does appear that we can use the full cross member for the battery support on this type of subframe if necessary instead of the cantilever scheme.
