SPARE WHEEL CARRIER ON SIDE OF CHASSIS We have received an official order for 50 sets of the above parts to arrangement number. We are, however, in the same position in regard to this as the luggage grid, namely, that although it is to form a part of our recommendations at present we do not think you have issued a standardisation sheet for it, and unquestionably in view of BJ's attitude it is essential that we should not fit any of these special parts except on the strength of the fully signed up standardisation sheet. We attach herewith copy of Fn3/LH{Mr Haworth}231222 which will give you some idea of Sales attitude towards it from an urgent point of view. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Signature] Can we arrange to fit up one of these on SGII at once HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
