| Identifier | ExFiles\Box 14\8\ Scan088 | |
| Date | 18th October 1928 | |
| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7350 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/T18.10.28. The subframe for 18-EX will be despatched to Barkers tomorrow (Friday). We are sorry we are slightly over our original promise, but there was a certain amount of delay in obtaining the material in the first place, and then, as you realise, the whole job is hand-work from start to finish. Since we received the instructions it has been urged. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
