Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1021 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/ML.28.7.40. We are getting a model made of the Myth as drawn out by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. The model is being split at the dashboard so that we can vary the length of the bonnet and the appearance of the wings and radiator. I have asked Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG to let you have a print of his final scheme for the model and would be glad if you would get Allen to work up a sketch of your own frontal appearance so that we can have this made as an alter- native to Green's scheme.
