| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re- Phantom III Dummy Chassis. You will remember that we took the dummy chassis which we had loaned to Park Ward, the body from which was taken over by your Department, and sent it at your request to Lockheeds for some hydraulic jacks to be fitted. No doubt the experiments in connection with these jacks by Lockheeds are now concluded. Can you please tell us, firstly, where this dummy chassis is to-day, and secondly, whether it can now be returned to Park Ward. They are very anxious to build another body to mount on it and exhibit in their Showroom, as it is quite clear they will not have a stock car exhibit for many months to come. We are very anxious to help them over this, and shall await your news with interest. If you have finished with your experiments could you arrange for the despatch of the chassis to Park Ward's Works at Willesden, and let us know when it is sent off. Cx.{Major Len W.
