Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E.29.11.33. 27-EX. car is fitted up with the wells in the floor and we were able to demonstrate this to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and C. yesterday. Owing to the narrowness of the Phantom ll frame the wells have to be restricted. There is no doubt however that the seating position is improved. This modification however shows up the advantage in the wider frame. As soon as we get farther with the independent wheel suspension we will let you have this car in London so that you can compare the body with your present ones. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
