| X7770 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} ~~Copy to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}~~ ~~Copy to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}~~ RE: "S.S" RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}10/BE3.5.29. We shall be unable to complete 19-EX, which is being fitted with all the latest modifications, in time for your visit to W.W. D.O. instructions are our greatest difficulty. We are not, at the moment, in receipt of L.O.P's for frame and fittings and bijur lubrication. The same applies to other sections. Whilst the Production Depts. have received the latest issues of up-to-date drawings, issue of these drawings to the Expl: Dept: are incomplete. In addition, further modifications are still being issued, consequently this is causing considerable delay. Owing to the absence of L.O.P's and up-to-date drawings, we shall be unable to guarantee that chassis when finished, will be a model of the future "SS{S. Smith}" Production Chassis. RHC.{R. H.
