Re Chassis 38-EX, We have decided to test out on one of our cars the new electric Berkshire 3 bladed wind screen wiper, and we have ordered one of these for test. We should like to fit this wiper to the new body for 38-EX, and we are sending to you herewith a blue print of the wiper in question, and should be glad if you could arrange for the coach builders to give us the dimensions called for on this drawing, so that the makers can complete the wiper for us. Upon receipt of the wiper after preliminary tests, we will send it to you for fitting to the car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
