| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M27.10.27. C to BY C re. FRAMED INSTRUMENTS. X8530 Thank you for HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG241027. We think that one or two of the sets of framed instruments which you are making should be fitted to trials cars in London, in fact all six sets should be used by them if possible, with a view to propaganda. Would C. kindly arrange to have a car available. We understand that 70-EF. will be in Derby shortly, and it might be arranged for that car to have the new instrument board. [Signature] E.V. | ||
