| 1030 704 23rd January, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.2/ET. C.W. WARD, Esq., Messrs. Park Ward Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, L O N D O N N.W. 10. Dear Mr. Ward, Confirming our telephone conversation this morning, will you please supply, as soon as possible, one gallon each of undercoating and finishing green cellulose lacquer, as used on 12.B. Some of this is to be used for touching up the wings of this car, and we are also thinking of using some of it for painting our model Myth body. As explained to you we would like sufficient leather to upholster this model in a shade that will harmonise with the paint, the leather to be as thin as possible. As the model is quarter size, I should think that probably 10 or 12 square feet of hide would be sufficient. The head lining will measure about 5 sq.ft. and the carpet about 18" x 12". If you have any oddments of Rexine to match the leather, this would also be useful. Knowing that the model is quarter size, you will be able to judge the approximate amount of material. As we are anxious to get the model completed, we should be glad to get the material as soon as possible, and if you could put a few cuttings of materials you may have in stock into an envelope, we should be obliged. Yours sincerely, | ||
