W/S. To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RFC X.3885 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG3.11.20. We attach hereto a sketch of the 2" higher Dashboard which is the correct sketch. We regret having sent the wrong sketch previously. With reference to your Sp{Mr Spinney}3/AWT/1.11.20, we shall supply all the fittings for the Instrument Board. What we should like, is for the Coachbuilders to make their Instrument Board but not polish it and for us to have it in this condition so that we can fit the instruments in the exact position shown on Mr. Royce's drawing. They could then have the board back to finish polishing it. Do you think this could be arranged? Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} NOV C RECEIVED | ||
