| Hynes BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} X417 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}2/H28.11.25. re. Chassis 14-TM. Juan Correa. With reference to your Hmlz/W26.11.25. The high speed fan drive on this car did not seem very effective and I certainly think we might to advantage have a more efficient drive. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} did suggest that this could possibly be achieved by putting on a thicker section belt drive. Do you not think the customer could be approached as to whether he would consider the fitting of a bonnet with the latest type louvres, as now fitted experimentally on 93-NK, and which I understand Sales have generally approved?
