We propose making a design for the subframe for "SS{S. Smith}" as soon as we have completed the design of the rear end of India 3. We shall then be in a position to ask you to produce two [crossed out] of these for the following bodies which have been agreed to. (1) One for Sales to enable to build such a body as they may consider desirable. (2) One for a body which we will construct, similar to the on on 14.EX. (3) The Sports Saloon will not require a standard subframe. [Signature] E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} EVERNDEN MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
