| S/W. (Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) C. to Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} (Paris) for information Re: Chassis 24-EX. With further reference to C17/C16.6.31, the Administration propose that we should have a new French body fitted to this chassis with a view to having the complete car ready for use as Paris Demonstration Car before the opening of Paris Show on October the 1st. We are writing to Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} about this to-day, but so that he can have a body drawing prepared, will you please tell him at once the rake of steering now on 24-EX. (We do not wish to go to the expense of changing the steering unless absolutely necessary). And also as soon as possible will you please have sent to Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} a coachbuilder's drawing of 24-EX? Whr.{Mr Wheeler} | ||
