| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BODIES FOR STORK Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG6.1.23. HERON BODIES FOR "STORK" AND "HERON". We consider it is very urgent that we should order a body suitable for the Stork or Heron chassis. We are hoping to take one of these cars to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence whilst R.{Sir Henry Royce} is there and we think the whole thing will be spoilt if we do not have a satisfactory body. The sales people in London say that it will take 3 months to make the body. Could you please arrange to set out the main dimensions of a suitable body so that it could be put in hand at once. We should like to hear from you as to what can be done. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
