| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from CJ. X9770 X9770 X9940 CJ11/E20.4.25. Referring to the attached, as the Board leave the Administration to settle the question of dates for deliveries, I do not propose to bring this memorandum before the Board but I am very anxious that it should remain as a permanent record for the guidance of the administration in the future. I am, therefore sending a copy to you, to BJ. to C. and am keeping a copy myself and am asking JS.{Mr Johnson's Secretary} to put it amongst the quarterly notes with a question which should be asked of you, of BJ., of C. and myself as follows : Are we contemplating introducing new chassis or important modifications in chassis? If so, have we taken into consideration the memo. of the 7th. April CJ3/E7.4.25, which was specially drawn up to show what our experience has been as to the period between the date at which a modification is placed on the road and the date at which chassis having the modification are delivered to sales. attc. CJ3/E7.4.25. CJ. | ||
