There are several parts not yet obtained or completed which are to be fitted to the Ripplet chassis on it's return from the body builders. When these are to hand will you please arrange for them to be weighed by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Hallam. This is essential of course, if an accurate weight of the finished chassis is tobe obtained. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Hlm. [Signature] | ||
