| R.R. 235A (100 T) (S.H. 159 11-8-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M8.1.23. [STAMP: ORIGINAL RECEIVED Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} JAN 1923] BODIES FOR "STORK" & "HERON". X4113 Replying to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG6123., we are getting out an open touring body for "Stork" today, and we hope we shall get Mr. Royce to look at it today or tomorrow, after which we expect to be able to send it you immediately. Presumably these cars would also have to have one of the heaviest type of closed body fitted, for instance a double cabriolet. London we believe haveordered many of these for long chassis. We suggest that you should get them to send you what they can do. Mr. Royce may, or may not wish us to give you particulars of a closed body but we will let you know as soon as possible.
