| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X7530 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RmL/LG.5.29. FRAMED PATCH INSTRUMENTS. X7530 We are preparing a Phantom 23-EX and 20 HP. 16-G4 for R's use. He has asked for a revised patch of instruments to N.sch.2836. We have now used up all the original patch instruments that we had to F.77718 and therefore we consider it might be advantageous to put through 6 complete sets to N.sch.2836. We are frequently being asked by Sales for sets of patch instruments and therefore think the additional 4 sets would easily be absorbed. As a matter of fact, they would be used up on experimental cars in a very short period. With regard to the instruments for these patches. We have 3 sets of cream dial instruments which are practically complete and think therefore that the remainder should not be ordered until we know specifically whether cream or black dials are required.
