That is to say, five other experimental cars in addition to the one which Mr. Royce has and whether you consider at this time that (b) "In June 1929 we may be in a position to order materials for the new car" is likely to be adhered to. Based on your reply to these two contemplated achievements it will be clear to us what is feasible from the standpoint of production and delivery to customers, which your letter above referred to estimated would commence early in 1930. We assume these deliveries to customers commencing early in 1930 refers to chassis and that finished cars with coachwork and all complete would follow two or three months later. As it has been arranged between Mr. Fuller and Mr. Sidgreaves that in these technical matters we may now communicate directly with Derby Works, instead of through liaison officer as formerly set up, I am addressing you as above and will be very happy to receive your views for our guidance in mapping out the program in hand here. Yours very truly, Very best regards A.H. Beares- | ||
