ROLLS-ROYCE ENGINES AND SPARES To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/LG16.3.27. 10-EX CAR. I am sorry that owing to F.10. I cannot get down to Barkers to see the above car, however, if you find that everything is O.K. and could wire me on Thursday night, I will arrange to send a man down on Friday morning to collect the car. I expect we shall be able to judge the seating position etc. very much better when the correct column and pedals are fitted to the car. Needless to say, we shall make every effort at this end to put the job through when we will give you an opportunity of trying it.
