Re Experimental Chassis for sale.
Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Mr Hives.
Sales Dept. are asking whether there is an experimental chassis that could be disposed of, one with "C" column if possible. If you have one please let us know what type it is and how it is built, as this appears a good opportunity of getting rid of one if you desire.

We could build up a chassis out of the parts of one of the chassis which has been used on the bumping machine, say 1714. It would have a new frame and quite a lot of other new parts. It has a B steering but this could easily be changed. Will this do?
