| DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y731/. BY/Cgh{W Clough}9/G.15.10.30. RE SIDE LEVERS. With reference to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M26.9.30. we are instructing experimentally a set of change gear and brake levers for the 25 HP. chassis, set in similar to what is shown on N. Sch. 3124 for P.11. As you are aware, we are producing a few chassis with similar features as fitted on 26-EX, but the coachwork may not in all cases be like 26-EX, and we would like to know if it is considered that the side levers on all these chassis should be set in as shown on N. Sch. 3124. One point which we would like to mention in connection with these levers is that there is not sufficient space between the handle of the change gear and the brake lever.
