Need for a new chassis for the American factory, as the old design is considered antiquated.

To CJ. from R. {Sir Henry Royce} STEERING (CONTD.) -2- R1/G29/5/19 Contd.

a new chassis for the American factory. I feel sure that our old chassis is quite too antiquated in design to start on a new set of tools for its construction.

In this matter of steering position I shall await the decision of the Sales Dept. before making a definite recommendation. It does not involve much designing work, but will require much drawing office work.
