| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Secret. KS8830 C1/C4.10.24. With reference to your Hg4/LG1.10.24. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}, you will of course quite appreciate how difficult it is to get a body made without raising suspicion and it is quite doubtful whether the open course is not less risky than any other. As regards the "mock-up" you mention particularly, however, this was quite all right because we were discussing with Barkers their numerous requests for wider dashboards and higher radiators and this "mock-up" was only supposed to be a proposed radiator showing what we could give in this respect, and of course it was fitted on to a "live" chassis.
