| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. X8770 10-EX X.7884 [crossed out] X.8440 R2/M25.9.26. X8774 It will be necessary (when this car is having the new splashers fitted) for the scuttle to be stiffened to prevent jellying, which is particularly bad on this chassis, and noisy due to creaking badly around the instrument board. I cannot spare this car until 7-EX is returned, which I wxxxxw hope will not be long, as we are expecting bad weather any time now. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
