| BY HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M20.10.28. re. HEELBOARD - 19-EX. X615 X7390 Having now set out the wheel arches for this car on N. scheme 2716. we find that the heelboard length shewn on N. scheme 2714. and 2694. is wrong. We would be glad if you would arrange for the sheet metal heelboard, which should be sent to Hooper's, to be in conformity with the wheel arch clearances on N. sch. 2716., and the wing drawing N. scheme 2717.
