| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7770 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/M/9.5.28. Re: R's car - No. 14 EX. Would you please let me know how soon you expect to be able to let us see it in London. In particular, we want to try the driving seat in connection with the new proposed positions for steering columns and pedals. When we were at Derby, on the 1st you said you expected to let us have it in about a week and we are holding up letting Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} have our suggestions in regard to an 'E' column (i.e. to be a little lower than 'D') until we have seen R's car.
