| S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re- Phantom III Dummy Chassis. You have two of these at the Works, one ex Rippon and the other ex Hooper. The latter are getting very anxious now to have it back, because they want to mount the body on it and have it in their Showrooms. They see this kind of exhibit in our Showrooms and those of T & M, Barker and others, and feel rather out of it without theirs. Can you please say if you are yet able to release their dummy chassis, and that your jack experiments - which I believe were concerned mostly with the fitting of the jacks - have been completed ? We regard it as rather important that we should try and oblige Hoopers in this matter. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Rwb | ||
