| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at W. X293 "PEREGRINE." Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}20/I/15-2-33. We have seen in the Daily Report details of complaints of the Park Ward body on 3 PER.11. Will you please tell us whether this body was mounted by Sanderson & Holmes or Park Ward & Co? We have further noticed that this body is not so bad for wind noises as the former body. We understand that when Park Ward's men were at the Works recently they made an adjustment to the fore ends of the sliding sun roofs of all the bodies available with the object of eliminating, or at least reducing, wind noises. Do you know whether the action they took has proved beneficial on bodies which previously were bad from this point of view? LID{A. J. Lidsey} Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
