| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} +7961d Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KW.18.2.35. Chassis B-10-DG. Mr. Thompson. The prospective owner has now tried the seating position of his car at Park Wards and has decided that with the special type seat they have fitted he wishes to revert to standard column length. Will you therefore please arrange for a standard column to be sent down for this car. If the longer column cannot be taken into stock, presumably the cost will have to be debited to Mr. Thompson.
