To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [word struck through] re Experimental Bodies.

Referring to B.6/HP.19.5.37 I am agreeable to the extra cost of £5 per body provided the Experimental Dept. confirm to you in writing that they will really require the bodies by the dates mentioned.

I only say this because I have recollections of [word struck through] overtime being previously worked on experimental bodies and then the body having to wait for the chassis.
