Can we assume from your memo that the modified starter motors are fitted on all production chassis and that therefore they would all be brought into line if the first 15 were modified in that way ? yes We are quite agreeable to your suggestion about this modification, particularly in view of the last paragraph of your memo. Can we take it that with regard to those of the first 15 that have so far been sent to you this modification has already been carried out ? Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Aueb | ||
