Mr.Platford: With reference to the Lanchester chassis, can you tell me whether the Technical Committee are likely to require this much longer as Barkers are rather anxious that we should let them have it back owing to the fact that for some reason the Lanchester Directors are taking some interest in this particular chassis and have expressed a desire to watch the building of the coachwork for it. W.Cowen. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
