Referring to your memo Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 16/R.23.11.36, we understand from Park Ward's that working without overtime they would be able to get the dummy ready for viewing by December 18th, and complete the coachwork four weeks after that date. Working with overtime the dummy could be ready by December 11th and the coachwork completed three weeks after that date. The dummy would be the body shell rigged up with bonnet, wings, lamps etc, for inspection by "S" and "W". In view of the great urgency of the Wraith we have instructed Park Ward's to work with overtime, which means that the coachwork should be finished by the end of December. Noted H.S.
