DESIGN WORK.

In accordance with conversation yesterday, we have stopped work on the 'Corniche' exhaust system (cutout was the outstanding item) in Mc.Stay's Department, and are going on with completing some details, which while not actually the L.H. chassis, clear the way for it, since they must be done. They are :-

Exhaust Systems - Silver Wraith and Dawn.
Controls for C.I. 6 Cyl. engine in B.V. Frame.
Controls for Silver Wraith, Dawn, and Ripple (All alike).

This includes a hand mixture control from the instrument board.
