Leslie will arrange the ordering of dies. It was agreed that details of all parts except the brakes and servo could be complete by October 8th, and that those of the brakes and servo should be ready by October 29th. It is most important that details must be accompanied by complete LOP's and index sheets. RPS. has not yet received LOP's for either B.50 or B.III and these are urgently required. HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} said that if the LOP dates were kept to, the car should be ready by Christmas. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} pointed out that the body could usefully be here by the middle of November, and that therefore, the body is one of the most urgent items of the car.
