| X5500 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. Standardisation Sheet BJ23/E1.12.27 Copy to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} No. 5800/5260. x5500 Referring to the above Standardisation Sheet in respect of wider dashboard and bonnet, as many of the Sales officials have not seen a car of this type, will you please arrange for it to be sent to London for inspection at an early date? Great care must be taken to arrange with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} concerning the date on which this xx alteration is to be adopted as he will have to make all his arrangements for the introduction of this different shape of chassis to suit all the bodies which are on order, more especially as the coachbuilders make a number of 20 HP bodies for stock well in advance.
