| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C13/C24.2.36 Re Chassis No. 4.B.4. ------- I shall be glad if you will please let me know if you have yet decided what is to happen to this car - that is to say, is the body scrap or is it repairable, and is the chassis reasonably repairable? We want to know really because we want to decide what to do with a more or less experimental body of Silentbloc construction throughout. We would propose putting it on this chassis in the event of the present body being scrap and provided, of course, that it is proposed that Lp.{Mr Lappin} should have the car back again. C. | ||
