Mr. Hives wired us yesterday that the dummy chassis will leave the Works today Oct. 2nd. We do not know how it is proposed to send it to Barkers, but we presume it will be crated and sent by rail, in which case it should be in your hands by Monday. As soon as the body is mounted we understand you will inform EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} in order that he may be present to discuss with Barkers the details of wings, valances, and instrument board, etc. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
