| X7250 To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Evl/14.3.30. X7260 X7250 X7500 X7830 P.2. RE : PROPOSED MODIFIED BONNET RADIATOR & DASH. We thank you for your Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/Hnl8/EDL/13.3.30 re the above. You will recollect that at the interview with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} when he inspected the models of the proposed improved radiators, bonnets and dashboards for both of our cars, it was decided to fit the improvement to the experimental body which is being built at Park Wards in the case of the 20/25 HP. car. In the case of the Phantom 2. it was decided that if I would let Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} know when the design was sent to Derby, he would discuss with them ways and means of getting a "mock-up" made. In our letter to Ry. issuing the design, EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}9/JL27.2.30. typed by one of your typists, this was made clear. A copy was sent to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} It would appear therefore, that it is up to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to make the next move. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} I have suggested to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} that it would be easiest to build a radiator, bonnet and sheet dash and get Holmes to make a scuttle.
