| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Illegible crossed out text] ORIGINAL [Stamped and crossed out] CAR FOR WW. X8770 The car I want for the autumn bad weather is 7-EX., (the one I had in the South of France.) The chassis is at Derby: it should have - (1) Large tyres 6.75. (2) Light front axle. (3) Improved ignition advance with latest contact points, condenser, etc, (as modified and now standardised.) (4) Modified induction system and carburetter heating proposed for standard. (5) Modification to meet throttle sticking complaint. (6) Modification to meet heated enclosed car complaint. (7) Modification to meet firing in silencer complaint. (8) Hydraulic dampers all round. (9) Cutout stop and operation modification. It would be good for WW. to get experience with these. Later, before going to France it might be fitted with the lighter cylinders. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
