| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. X4538 X.3730 X.4219 X.4538 R2/M15.5.23. Please fit up all proposed experimental pieces for me to see on either No.4 or No.6 Goshawk. Both are open bodies (I am assuming). I do not want to see the Maythorn Saloon until it is lightened, especially in the roof; though the complete car with passengers is not over weight, the body is beyond our standard weight of 9 cwt. with accessories. Park Wards' Saloon is quoted at under 8 cwts. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
