Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} at W. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}3/MK.1.5.36. Experimental Body with Improved Entrance. With further reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.24.4.36, it is assumed, of course, that you will obtain the extra width to the dashboard by building out a standard dashboard as has been done before on R.R. chassis. If this is not possible, please let us know for Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s information whether it is going to be a very costly business to produce a special dashboard. Hn.{F. C.
