| CWW/MO. -3- 30th January, 1935. chassis, if an English body had the same defects, the noise emanating from same would be rather bad. We have now, after this interesting experi-ment, come to a very firm decision in our own minds and we shall immediately alter the constructi on of our special Bentley body incorporating a new feature which we hope and trust will help to counteract the effect of this movement in the chassis. We also enclose for your information our re-presentative's report on his visit to French coach-builders and a report written on the 23rd January which gives some causes of the troubles we have experienced with our coachwork. Trusting these two last reports will be of interest to you. We are, Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. (Sgd). C.W. Ward. DIRECTOR. P.S. We would suggest that you instruct us to build a body on one of the American Chassis which we understand you have available. We would be glad to do this at cost price. | ||
