| To EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from BJ. BJ4/H22.11.22 (Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}) -2- (COPY OF Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}19/BM18.11.22 - Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}) "Holland. The duty is 5% - certainly not a large item, "but they dislike our bodies and consider them quite "unsuitable for their purpose. "Australia. The duty on an open body is £50. We "practically never ship a 40/50 h.p. to australia "with a body, and I understand they make very "excellent bodies there now. Paris Dept can, of course, deal with the testing "of their car and the one for Switzerland, and Pt. the cars "for Australia, and if necessary, we must send someone "specially to holland for theirs.
