Coachwork Recommendations to Coachbuilders. We have heard from Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} that the attached revised copy of our book of "Recommendation to Coachbuilders" is approved, and that he would like 40 copies just as soon as we can let him have them. Would you kindly arrange to have a suitable number of copies of this book produced. We suggest that the title on the cover be made as a blue print from a linen tracing, using standard stencils. The one in blue pencil on the sample was done with such stencils. We enclose herewith the originals of the sketches at the rear of the book. It would be as well if you could find a folder of some detachable type as we have to send a further chapter to be inserted in the book, dealing with sound insulation, as soon as the Experimental Dept. have settled their recommendations. We may also from time to time need to make small additions. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Handwritten in blue] By - Should like to see a copy of this. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Att: [Handwritten in red] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} - By will let you have a copy as soon as compiled KW | ||
