C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HN.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 25HP. SPECIAL TOURING SALOON. X.5120. X.5992. We send herewith N. sch. 3327/28 shewing the part- iculars of the special touring saloon body for the 20/25.. the first model of which is 20.G.IV. which we are producing at Park Wards. We understand that you want these originals to enable you to make tracings and for the supply of blueprints. We think that to enable this body to be accurately produced by coachbuilders we shall need the following prints. (1) E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} steering chassis print now in existence. (2) A tracing of N. scheme. 3327. (3) A tracing of N. scheme. 3328. On this latter the extra wing stay, particulars of which we shall send you shortly, should be indicated. If so desired this letter could also be scaled down to 1/8th. scale. Will you please issue to us and the usual people blue- prints of these schemes. LA{L. A.
