| 304. W/S. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.17.8.38. With reference to the finish for the next B.50 car, the colour we have selected is Jewelesence Rustic Green No.5048/7. We have been considering in view of the size of this car it might be advantageous to work in two shades - one slightly darker and one slightly lighter than this, and have the wings and the mouldings the darker shade. We suggest that Park Wards submit one or two panels giving variations on this theme. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
