With reference to EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/15.5.28., in reply to which we sent you print of Drawing No. F.78964 showing arrangement of instrument board with the Coachbuilder's scheme of grouped instruments with the carburetter and shutter controls moved out to the distance of 6.250" instead of 4" as at present from the centre of the car, also showing our present standard arrangement of instruments with the carburetter and shutter controls in the new position. We have held up material affected by the proposed change in the position of the carburetter and shutter controls, and would like to have a decision immediately otherwise we shall have to release another series of material to enable the Works to carry on. For Sales' information we give them herewith a blueprint of the drawing referred to above. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
