Honeyman - Retail orders} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/BE26.11.29. 20/25HP. PARK WARD LIMOUSINE. On your details of this car you shew the propeller shaft tunnelled into the rear floorboards. It is our intention to fit the hypoid axle on to this chassis. It is then probable that the propeller shaft will not need any special floorboards. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
