X794 We enquired in Parus at Vitton's for a luggage box. They can supply a box to any dimensions we like to give. Rather than purchase one which might not be entirely satisfactory, we arranged that we would send the dimensions on to the Paris Depot. We recommend a general scheme of the body and the wheel carrier is prepared so that we can obtain a luggage box which exactly suits our requirements. The box can be obtained whilst the other parts are being prepared. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
