| RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy BT{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X9930 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/5.12.25. RE CABRIOLET BODY FOR E.A.C.I. Further to our EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/1.12.25. and N.Sch.2082. we would point out that the "C" type steering which we wish fitting to the above car is that with the wheel 32. in. from the dash and which is our standard. We are reminding you of this as the original "C" type steering which was called for for E.A.C.I. and given on N.Sch.1423. had a dimension from the dash to the wheel of 30.750.in. This would not suit the body we are proposing to use as the wheel would foul the screen. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
