I do not think any professional driver would shew the slightest inclination to complain when the parts are arranged in accordance with the instructions I had proposed should be issued.

In the No.3.Goshawk limousine there was (1) a lining in the scuttle which balked the foot, (2) some wood also which balked the foot, (3) the floor which was 1" too high, and (4) something hard at the top of the back of the seat which pushed the driver forward. All these we altered temporarily at WW. after you had seen the car, except No.4, the last item. They ought to have been corrected at Derby.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
