| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X.3730. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M1.6.23. RE. BEATONSON ALL-WEATHER FOR 5-G-11. X.3730. We are proceeding to fix up the design of the body in detail with Messrs. G.Beaton & Son Ltd., and also their coachbuilders Messrs. Young of Bromley. What they would like to know is when they will have the chassis, and whether there will be any features on the chassis which will be different to standard, and will affect their coachwork. On this last point we have told them that any divergence from standard asfar as they are concerned is very improbable. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
