Further to your memo. R/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/MN. to Messrs. Park Ward. It should be mentioned that owing to the slack in the mechanism and the eccentric fitting of the handles to the ventilator windows, we have been obliged to leave the handles off, and lock the windows in the closed position. We have rather a lot of wind noise coming from the front of this body, 75% of which disappears when the sliding roof is opened 1". It appears from this that some small alteration to the fit of the front edge of the sliding roof would improve matters. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. | ||
