RE: BODY SUBFRAMES. With reference to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}9/H.21.7.32. the Works will have sufficient material to make subframes for all N.2 series, 40/50 HP. chassis. A standardisation sheet has been circulated covering the proposal to delete subframes, and we are not ordering any subframes for O.2 series but intend to order the necessary body brackets. If Sales consider that there would be any advantage in not building all the subframes necessary to complete N.2 series no doubt you will let us know in due course. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
