RE : CHASSIS GHW-78 - TRIALS CAR

We have received a note from Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} regarding this chassis which it is intended shall replace chassis GBT-9 at present used by Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} It was intended to fit the experimental three-charge dynamo scheme to GBT-9 and Sales now wish us to arrange for this scheme to be fitted to GHW-78 before it leaves the Works. We are preparing a set of parts comprising dynamo, switchbox and distribution board incorporating three charge resistance unit and will arrange to hand these over for fitting to the car as soon as possible. It will be remembered that you have already similarly fitted up chassis GAV-14 in the Test Dept.
