| Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 1010 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.5.12.38. FRAMES. Confirming our conversation, the following is the order of urgency for the various frames which have been released:- 3.B.50 Continental B.V. B.V. Bump Chassis 11.B.V. with bent front pan 12.B.V. Silver Wraith Bump chassis. We expect that in view of the quantities of frames now being ordered, and the fact that several can be handled together it should be possible to get a reduction on the experimental cost of these frames. We should like to get an estimate for the cost of these. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
