| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X5430 INDIA 3. X5430 X5880 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG19.9.27. Referring to R9/M5.9.27. in which R.{Sir Henry Royce} proposes to delete the present 'B' steering, he instructs in that memo. that a suitable body should be put in hand. We are assuming that DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will give the necessary instructions as regards what type this body shall be. As regards the wider dash. This was fitted to the 20 HP. car you saw at Gerrards Cross the other day. I think you will agree that the appearance of that car generally was very pleasing. There is no reason, as far as we know, why the wider dash could not be standardised. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
