| W.([redacted]) c.c. [redacted],Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, 9 h.p. Riley Monaco Saloon. [Handwritten]: X20H. [Stamp]: RECEIVED MAR 18 1932 Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}16/KW18.3.32. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has passed to me your memo E2/M14.3.32. We do not think that any useful purpose will be served at the present time by Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} making a layout of the body of this Rileycar for comparison with our Bensport. We feel quite satisfied that the dimensions of the Bensport on the drawings which we at present possess -R.Sch.3406 and 3407- will be quite satisfactory, at least for the first experimental cars, until we have had some experience with the actual car. We suggest, therefore, that no further action at the present time is necessary with regard to body dimensions for Bensport. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
