BY.28/N. Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. For the attention of Mr Finney. Dear Sir, Re: 2.B.50. Further to your letter of the 13th.inst. reference CLD/CM.SO.B.295, we have reviewed the proposal on your attached sketch and do not like the moulding line so high up, also the rear wings appear to be rather thin. We therefore send you a proposal on F.CD.903 showing the moulding line, and rear wing treatment for the Four Door Saloon which we should prefer. The above scheme also shews the same moulding line and rear wing treatment on the Six Light Saloon, which we think you will be interested in, as we believe these bodies are very similar. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
