| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 47961 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KW.18.9.34. Dropped Front Cross Member - Mr. Summers' Car. Will you please fit the dropped front cross member to this car. At the same time will you please check over the steering lock, as we understand that the wheel fouls the cross steering tube on one side. The rear wing stays appear to be quite inadequate on this car having been made by the Coachbuilders, we shall be glad if you would replace them by standard Rolls-Royce pieces.
