| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ16/E19/9/27 - 2 - 8. Also that certain coachbuilders shall be asked to design suitable closed light bodies for the sports model chassis. They will all be given to understand that light weight, and small wind resistance are imperative, and on the results of their efforts will depend the number of orders they are likely to receive. It will do all the coachbuilders good to have to consider such a reduction of weight. . BJ. | ||
