C. to WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} re BODIES.
B. 2.
This car would call for possibly 2 stock bodies:
(1) Sports Saloon.
(2) Open Saloon.
The source of supply, the writer suggests, would be common to that of Per:2., and that experimental bodies as models would also be made by our own trained coachbuilders.
