C. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} EN. SPECIAL TOURING SALOON FOR R.{Sir Henry Royce} JC X5992 Will you please send a complete set of instruments to Park Ward that will be used on the car they are building. Those on the chassis they now have of course cannot be used. Also will you please let us know if any of these instruments differ in any way from standard as we wish to make a layout of the instrument board for them to work to. As we propose spraying the flanges of the instruments to match the interior finish of the car we wish you to fit the instruments with Venetian cream dials.
