| E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /2066 R2/M13.4.29. G.A. X.5770 X.2066 Experimental parts to LeC.2689 and F's letter of the 10th. April should go ahead. We want G.A. in all haste. Can we also do something more to get the floor of the rear part of the car still lower than we have arranged, even at the expense of some ground clearance? Hypoid gears would be needed. Is the axle drg. ready? R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
