| To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C. to Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 800a Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/RH.{R. Hollingworth}25.5.41. S.B.50. This car has had an accident and completely written off one front wing. It will have to go to Park Ward for repairs. This might be an opportunity of getting some more conventional front wings fitted to it. I believe that you produced a drawing showing the type of wing we should like. I am not sure whether Ward made anything, but if you will let Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} have the drawing, we will see whether we can get the conversion carried out.
