Sales Dept. point out that they are hoping, as a result of experiments now being made by 'Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}', that it will be possible to provide stays to carry cycle type front wings on B-157-AE - Faireys, and B-189-AE - Fedden, both of which are having streamlined bodies somewhat similar to the Park Ward experimental body on B-23-AE. The former chassis is not yet 'on test' but the latter chassis has been on test since the 1st February. We shall be glad to have particulars as early as possible if this scheme can be carried out so that instructions can be issued. D/BP | ||
