| ...from PN.{Mr Northey} Copy to Rem. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE. x4 (1) PN.{Mr Northey}4/WTS.10.31. Lord Cholmondeley. GFT-43. Referring to your By/CCHA/(G3.10.31) we are now accepting the view expressed by Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} that there is no doubt about the complete car fulfilling the specification in respect of maximum speed required by the owner. We are arranging for the Hartford Adjustable Shock-Absorbers to be fitted immediately the chassis can be received from W. and then for the car to go straight to the coachbuilders. It therefore follows that the set of stiffer type springs referred to by you should be fitted before the chassis leaves the Works. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
