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.
