| X7230 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} R.{Sir Henry Royce} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} DAL/M5.6.31. PHANTOM 2. AND 25 HP. EXHAUST TAIL PIPES X.7230 X.5230 With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/MJ2831., we presume the increased cost of the WW. scheme is due to the hinged support provided in this case, and not - if our information is correct - in the case of the Derby scheme. From the indications on the car here this support appeared to be very necessary. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
