C.LHS. {Lord Herbert Scott - Chair} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} JHE. Ior. re Weymann Body by H.S.Mulliner on Bentley Chassis. I attach herewith EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 's report on the Fabric Weymann Body which is being built for Mr Minchin at Mulliners of Chiswick. Personally I think this is a very interesting experiment and may suit the Bentley chassis with the existing frame. It will not, however, I am sure, be the ultimate type as regards principles of construction as we must aim eventually at complete rigidity, and we shall shortly be submitting a report giving some further information, with a view to working in this direction.
