| 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.10/ET. 19th September 1940. C.W. WARD, Esq., Messrs. Park Ward & Co. Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, LONDON N. W. 10. Dear Mr. Ward, Regarding Limousine 30.G.VII and Saloon 3.B.50, Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} wishes me to see how these bodies can be arranged so that as many parts as possible are common to both. I understand you have the drawings of both these. Could you send the drawings along to me here, so that I can see what can be done. I have an idea that you already had some work done with the same object in view. If you can find time to drop me a line on this subject, I shall be much obliged. I have tried to get through to you on the telephone today, but there is such a long delay I thought it best to write. There is a possibility that I might see you in Willesden towards the end of next week. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, | ||
