| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.5/MH.{M. Huckerby} [Handwritten] ? 42)? See letter 26th. March 1938. N.H.Manning, Esq., Messrs. Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd., Dagenham, ESSEX. Dear Mr.Manning, Thank you for your further quotations dated March 22nd., we are sorry that you cannot deal with a frame 14" longer than the original frame, but feel certain that we can make separate extentions for both front and rear bumpers, so that the side member will fit into your press. What is the longest side member for your press ? I am enclosing some detail drawings which cover the alteration to the front end of the frame which we discussed when you were at the works. We presume that these will make practically no difference in the cost. I am enclosing a print of a pressed steel dashboard FB.5051. Can you please let us have a quotation for 1000 of these unplated and also the tool cost. Yours sincerely, | ||
