| GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} at K.{Mr Kilner} BY/Mtnl/N.21.11.38. Re: Central Change. We have received a request from Sales to know if we can fit a central change to a Wraith chassis. We have informed Sales this can be done, and the cost dept. here inform us the job done at K.{Mr Kilner} on the Bentley is considerably cheaper than the one we propose. Would you let us know what was done at K.{Mr Kilner} i.e. what new parts did you supply, and did you modify existing pieces at all. From the photographs you sent it would appear you had two or three new castings made, but it is difficult to see exactly what you did. BY/Mtn. [STAMP] NOV 22 19.. | ||
