| S/W...G. c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C16/C27.3.35 Re ISOLATION OF BODY SCHEME. ----- I should be glad if you would kindly go into the cost of this job with the Experimental Dept. who are about to arrange for standardisation sheets to be put into circulation in regard to a part of the scheme. We really want to know what it cost, giving material and labour separately, to do the one sample body that the Experimental Dept. fitted up, by way of a check on the Coachbuilders who are engaged in doing a number of these jobs for us which we have to pay for. So far we have found that the prices they are charging vary very considerably. C. | ||
