| SECRET. X4704 To E.........from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} EvS/IH.28.11.33. re VULTURE. ------- I think you ought to know that we posted to Messrs. Park Ward & Co., the full information for commencing work on the Vulture body on Friday night. I called there early on Monday morning with a view to going over the drawings with their Chief Draughtsman, but was alarmed to find that they had not seen them. We have assured ourselves that they left here by post on Friday night. So far they have not turned up at Messrs. Park Ward's. The rest of Monday was occupied, therefore, in collecting up fresh prints and modifying in pencil again the number of the drawings. I was able to take these there at 3 o'clock and a start was immediately made on the work. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
