| 1080 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /EAG.5/ET. 11th December, 1940. 704 Messrs. Twining Models, Pike Lane, NORTHAMPTON. Attention of Mr. Clifton. Dear Sir, As arranged during our visit to your Works yesterday, we are sending you herewith a blue print giving particulars of points out-standing. (No. Additional to RB. {R. Bowen} 19012). Regarding the badges required, please have these engraved as arranged. It is understood that there will be a small extra charge for these and the pass lamps, as they were not shown on the drawing from which you quoted your price for constructing the model. Regarding the finish of the steering wheel, this is to be all black, with the exception of the spokes. Concerning the plated strips in the interior of the head-lamps, these are a hollow U section carrying a light shield over the bulb. For the purpose of your model, we think that a plated strip stuck to the glass would serve its purpose. The size of this you can get from our print PL.404, and scale it down in proportion. Yours faithfully, P.S. Regarding the 2 1/4 and 1 1/4 brass bar, we have none of this in stock, but we are obtaining two pieces which we hope to have tomorrow and, as soon as they come to hand, we will forward them to you. The drawing, owing to headlamp fixings and finishes, we will also post to you to-morrow. P.P.S. Print showing bumpers (No. PL.432) is also attached. | ||
