| Confidential. 1300 To: Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 11/h.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 22.12.43. PENDULUM LEVERS. I note that we are not proposing to make any 4.825 pendulum levers, because no die exists which can be modified. I would like to know what cars are fitted with this pendulum lever, and I think that now we have permission to make prototypes, we should certainly have a die sunk for the correct design of 4.825 and run at least one.
