Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ss.{S. Smith} 1381 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/KW.9.7.38. CHASSIS COSTS. I know it is Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s intention to raise again on Monday or Tuesday the question of Wraith costs. From the fact that we have now got a number of Wraith cars on test and will shortly be delivering them to Coachbuilders, it is obvious that we must give him some idea of the cost of these chassis. We must also be able to explain to him how we intend to arrive at the cost of new cars before they are put into production. I should like to have a preliminary discussion in my office at 11.30 a.m. on Monday. Will RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} please arrange to bring Mr. McClure with him.
