S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Goshawk Body Work X3730 Sp.{Mr Spinney}9/H/23.2.22. Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG/22.2.22. I note that you do not consider the wind screen is good enough. I wrote to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} yesterday suggesting he should take the matter up with you and arrive at some suitable average dimension for height of division of the wind screen, which dimension should be put on the Coachbuilders' Drawings. In this connection, I would suggest the raising of the seat in the Limousine will make the operation of the pedals more comfortable. Will you kindly consider this matter also. We have instructed Messrs. Hoopers to fit side curtains to open with the door on the Open Body they are making for Mr. Royce.
