Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.18.7.32., We are naturally very interested in this as we shall be quite pleased when we get chassis through without Subframes. Could you please let me know when it is proposed to stop using them on the 40/50-HP. Chassis, even if we have to scrap the Subframes which are in stock, or material for Subframes that is in stock.
