Following is a report of the work in progress or awaiting attention in the Design Office, dealing with the various chassis under construction or projected. In the first case, the following is a list of such chassis, somewhat in the order of their urgency, as we understand it, though it will be understood that circumstances may cause a particular feature on one chassis to acquire priority out of its normal order. An example is the Phantom III steering modifications. 1/- B.V. 2/- Silver Ripple I. 3/- Wraith III. 4/- Bentley - Corniche. 5/- Silver Wraith. 6/- Silver Dawn. 7/- Bentley - Cresta. 8/- Wraith 80. 9/- Silver Ripple II. 10/- Bentley - Comet. 11/- Phantom III. 12/- Bentley II. 13/- L.H. 8 Cylinder Car. We have to include P.III, Wraith and even Bentley II. because work occasionally crops up on those chassis which necessarily retards the progress of the rationalised programme. On the attached sheets we give the outstanding work on the different models. | ||
