Please say
Re: Chassis No. 6.B.IV. Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Waller (crossed out).

The R.A.C. have raised a query as to whether the Engine No. shown is correct.

In the documents this is given as B.24, whereas in the Registration Book it is B.4.

Would you please confirm which is correct, as if necessary the documents must be put in order before the car leaves England.

Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
B 24, is correct.
