| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/JH. 10th. January, 1940. C.W.Ward Esq., Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, LONDON.N.W.10. Dear Ward, Thank you for your two letter of the 9th. January. I am glad you are getting on with the jobs enumerated. Will you confirm if you can possibly make one light body on the lines of 12.B.V. from the tools which have been produced for production B.V. I heard from Draper that you had not been able to let me have your B.V. costs because you were waiting for some information from Green. I have written to Green as I cannot understand this. I think if the Park Ward body is to have a chance we must arrange matters so that cost investigation is continuously going on irrespective of any other work. We have arranged this on the chassis side at Derby. We can possibly discuss this when you come up here with Green after your meeting with the P.S.C. people. If you are ever short of light gauge material I believe I can get it for you from our friend Summers. Yours sincerely, | ||
