| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BA/LV. E.H. FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} (At Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence.) Copy to BJ. WCR R6/M22.3.27. REC'D & DESPATCHED FROM WW. 25.3.27. ORIGINAL X8250 X8260 40/50 RADIATOR & BONNET. I am awaiting an improved design, principally to avoid the very thick appearance of the radiator. You will remember that the other alterations are not approved - i.e. high shoulders, unless someone can see other advantages than appearance, which I think it does not improve, or it would be worse for drivers view.
