| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4584 C6/C19.1.23. Re 20 HP for Experimental purposes in America. -------------------- Will you please let me have a reply to C7/C17.1.23. CJ. writes me again that as America want to get a chassis for experiment during the cold weather it should be sent off. If you have nothing to spare for this purpose, the only thing will be to take one of the production chassis and ship it immediately. In this case perhaps you will please see EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} as to which chassis he would like to send. If it is necessary to send off a fully tested chassis and it will be necessary for EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} to pick out one of those he has declared off test recently which he still has at Derby. I shall be glad to hear from you by return. C.
