Replying to your Rml/ET.16.12.40., we have just been able to arrange with Jack Barclay to send his car in to us, and we anticipate receiving it in about a week's time. We propose to borrow the gearbox from B.28-AW and fit up to this car. The gearbox ex B.34-AW will be forwarded to you for the necessary modification, and we shall be glad if you will please let us have this back with the utmost despatch, as C. is anxious to have this chassis fitted up with a body. Thank you for your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Clm.{D. D. Clapham}1/ET.22.1.40., advising us how to deal with the rear of this car. Bk.{A. Birkett - Commercial Manager} | ||
