Handwritten: I.M.W. [struck through] Please do this Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Re: Van Vooren Seats. This is to remind you of the proposal that IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} should take 8.B.5. to Paris, and have it measured for complete front sliding seats as well as rear seat squab and cushion, exactly like those in Sr's latest Trials car. The second part of the proposal was that if he did that immediately they would be available for fitting before the car leaves for England, when it could return with the new seats, leaving the old ones behind so avoiding duty.
