With reference to By/Cgh{W Clough}2/G21-2-34 we are instructed by Sales Dept. to go ahead and produce the necessary parts for fitting cycle type front mud wings to these two chassis. As both the chassis are built there is no reason why the chassis should not be completed and despatched to the Coachbuilders pending completion of the stub axles and wing stays. We are issuing instructions for the material to be prepared and sent on to the Coachbuilders. It is assumed that it will be possible for this alteration to be made in London and that the Experimental Dept. are satisfied that the new stub axles and wing stays will be quite suitable. D/BP | ||
