We are sorry to note you have no Car on which you could fit this shortened column and in view of the fact that we cannot provide a Car, we think that your suggestion is an excellent one of putting 1 1/2" blocks on the pedals of a 'Phantom' with standard 'D' column. Could you please arrange for this to be done on 78.SC. which is now at Derby (we believe in the Repair Dept:). At the same time, we would like a false piece of boarding put over the sloping board beside the pedals so that this board would be 1 1/2" nearer the Driver as well as the pedals. Sg.{Arthur F.
