| To EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} +4616 Hsl/LG17.11.24. RE. AMERICAN PROPOSAL SHEET NO.40. We have no comment to make. As the proposal is such an extensive and radical departure, we think it is a matter which only R.{Sir Henry Royce} can decide. We should not approve of their proposal for Derby built cars.
