| By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to OO/GEA X4124 2-0 Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 1/NJ5.10.26. Re Jack for "Phantom" Chassis. I confirm mine Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 1/NJ27.9.26. We are now in receipt of a further letter from the Dunlop Rubber Co. dated 4th inst. and I attach copy for your information. You will note that the Dunlop Co. have sent us a sample of each of two Jacks referred to in their letter. Will GEA. be good enough to arrange that on arrival the two Jacks in question are handed to By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Unfortunately it would appear that we cannot depend upon the Dunlop Co. having a suitable Jack ready in less than 2/3 months.
