X.7380 X.7830 We thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RnLO/LG13.12.28. We agree to make the first subframe cross member detachable, and will send you a scheme in a day or so. The subframe for 23-EX will be like that for 18-EX - see N.sch.2695. We shall want this as soon as possible for the open body. R.{Sir Henry Royce} has agreed to postpone the open sports to 24-EX - the 7th. chassis - in view of the difficulty of producing it without revealing secrets to the coachbuilders. Would you please alter your prints of Ns.{Norman Scott} ch: 2764 to 24-EX for this car. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
