| 1021 23rd May, 1941. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /EAG.2/RH. {R. Hollingworth} C.W. Ward, Esq., Messrs. Park Ward Ltd. 473, High Road, Willesden, LONDON. N.W.10. Dear Mr. Ward, With reference to the ventilating windows in the front doors of the Myth, can you get these made?. I was hoping that Wilmott-Breeden could have done the whole job for you, but as they are more used to die-casting than to make this sort of thing up by hand and in view of the fact that with the hand made doors, there may be slight variations, I think that if you can arrange it, it would be better for you to get them made. They will be of a similar section to the sample that you sent to Wilmott-Breeden, there will be no vertical piece to the frame, in other words, the sliding glass and the ventilation window glass will overlap. We have got a new type of regulator for the operation of the vertical window which Wilmott-Breeden's will make. It is a screw type, operated by a wheel with a serrated edge which I think you will like when you see it. If you will let me know as soon as possible if you could get this work done, I will get a drawing sent along to you showing the pivot centres and the attachment of the regulator. Regarding the dash, we have had to make a small modification to the rays on the outside edges to accommodate all the various bits that the chassis people want to attach to it; the alterations being that we have changed the radius of the corner from 1½" to 1". We are sending the blue prints of this tomorrow. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has been telling me how well you have got on with the job which I was very glad to hear. -Over- | ||
