| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X180. C2/C24.7.29 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/MJ20.7.29 ------- Thanks for the information in regard to your test cars. 12-EX. I agree that there is no necessity for us to remove the central lubrication from this when the time comes to sell it. 14-EX. I note you feel that this ought to be taken to bits. If it is to all intents and purposes a Phantom chassis - engine, gearbox, etc - with just elliptic springs instead of cantilever springs, I think perhaps it might be sold But, of course, if there are many more differences than this and it is really neither one thing nor the other, then I agree it should be dismantled, and no doubt we can use up the parts, or some of them. 9-EX. The same remarks apply. I note the position in regard to the 20's. C. 10-12 1/2 2850 | ||
