| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mcr17/L201014. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} 20-10-14. In reply to your memo D30/OS191014, we wish to explain that this Body was orignally ordered for Mr Royce a long time ago. It was an exceedingly wide body and would look somewhat old fashioned to-day if finished. Mr Royce afterwards cancelled the order and the Body has remained partly finished ever since. We do not know exactly what should be done with this Body, as the Experimental Dept. certainly have no immediate use for same. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Mcr. X180 | ||
