| To HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c.c. to EY. RE. 6. EX. Y3923 / Y4555 X.4085 We note that you are fitting side carriers for the spare wheels similar to our scheme for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) - N.Sch.1249, which is of the trough type and highly suitable for the 40/50 where the wheel is well away from the wing and always in position. Our latest carrier for Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) in which the wheel stands on the running-board we feel is not quite so strong. We are anxious to get the trough carrier fitted to all 40/80s in future. We understand from Sales that you are fitting dipping head lights of the Barker design to this car. P.S. I fetched the Road R? from Tysely a week ago. A new engine gaiter we're told have been fitted, gratis, - quite good. Thanks very much for all your help + valuable assistance in this matter.
