| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG18.5.28. 'SS{S. Smith}' CHASSIS. X7770 X7830 Referring to BJ9/E17.5.28. We have no alternative but to produce the 'SS{S. Smith}' chassis according to WW. instructions. As far as we know, there is no intention, at WW. of building spedal sports chassis. The point has been raised that this car may have two compression ratios, but this matter cannot be decided until we have tested a car. As regards bodies for the 'SS{S. Smith}' car. It is a matter which is dealt with entirely by DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} to R's instructions. So far, of course, no bodies are on order.
