Further to our BY/NW{N. Walker - Patents}1/JN.18.5.36; we now find that the chassis numbers we quoted need modifying.

They should read as follows :-

Nos. B2 GA - B56 GA inclusive, also B60 GA and B64 GA.

No. 1V - for chassis approximately 31 - 130 in Series G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp}

Nos B58 GA, B62 GA, B66 GA - B260 GA inclusive.
