can do if they work on production lines, the cost of the body will, of course, still be higher than the die pressed job, even if the die cost is spread over 2,000 bodies only, and assuming the cost of the Park Ward shell to be £70, but you will have the opportunity of making modifications should they be necessary without heavy costs for die alterations. You would also be able to get into production much quicker, and with more certainty than if you have to rely on dies being made.

I trust that I have dealt with the whole matter to your satisfaction and given you the information that you require.

Yours faithfully,
