| REC. FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} P4702 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M3.4.33. C. to - WGR. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Stamp: RECD 4 MAI 1933 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}] PEREGRINE - SHEET METAL WHEEL ARCHES. We thank you for your RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}10/BE30333,. and note your remarks. We agree that the wheel arch should be produced in 2 or more pieces, and are not particular whether you use fig. 3. or fig. 2. on your sketch. We do not think that we could use fig. 4., having no flange on the top of the body bottom side, as the fixing to the wood might not be adequate. We leave you to use whichever of the other 2 alternatives you prefer. It would appear that we shall require wheel arches for the Bentley before those for Peregrine, and as these are slightly different in shape, though the same in construction, we are asking Park Wards to send you a sample Bentley wheel arch.
