(3) E.1/HP.15.5.35. when the instructions are ready we should like to make at least two chassis of the modified type and fit one of them with an all steel body. We appreciate that the present effort is still in the early stages and that many of the joints between the frame members are very crudely made and will give trouble. It is only, however, a matter of time and devoting some thought to the construction of the joints to make a better and more lasting job, and we should like to give some encouragement and support to Park Wards in what we consider is a most important development.
