| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} MYTH BODY HARD WEAR AND ACCESSORIES. 704 We are well on with the design of the Myth body and have now reached the point where we are ready to discuss door-locks, window lifters, sunshine roofs, bumpers, windscreen frames etc. Before the war, we formed the opinion that by far the most efficient organization in the country for obtaining this type of equipment was Wilmott Breedons of Birmingham. It was to enlist Mr. Breedon's active co-operation that we asked you to agree to let him a B.V. We have had his B.V. at the Clan making the necessary modifications to it and he will be taking delivery of it on Monday. While he is here, we want to show him details of the Myth body and get him to put the necessary experimental parts in hand at his factory. We shall inevitably have to tell him a good deal about the Myth, but he appears to us to be reasonably discreet and there does not seem to be any alternative if we are to keep this job moving. Some time towards the end of next week, we should like to show you what we have been doing to Myth since the last discussion on this subject. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
