| W/S. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 300a. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.12.12.36. 35-EX - BODY WORK. This car is now partially dismantled in the shop being prepared for the next 15,000 miles test in France. Attached is a list of the points on the body which require attention. From our point of view, it is very important that we should not lose any time after the car has been completed, and would, therefore, like to know if you could arrange for Park Ward to attend to the coachwork in parallel with our own work. We could, of course, supplement anybody Park Ward's may send with assistance from Sanderson & Holmes. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
