To: EM/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} (Slack Lane) from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/h.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 8.2.44.

We want some experimental chassis frames making which are almost identical with those which John Thompson produced in the past, but with reduced distance between the front pan and the dash-board.

The only way we are likely to get these frames made is to use existing tools of John Thompson modified to enable them to cater for the reduced length.

What prospect is there of getting John Thompsons to undertake the necessary work and produce the frame?

I should like to have your modified material cost for the Silver Ripple as soon as this is ready.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
