| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +261 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW. 8.9.34. Streamlined Car. It will be remembered that this car was turned out from the Coachbuilders with mild steel wing stays and we have really been meaning to change these ever since. The wings are now cracking on the car and we should therefore like you to fit the wing stays and wings which have had a preliminary run on the bump and which have proved themselves to be reliable.
