X1729a S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}12/KW18.1.35. re- Cadillac in France. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} asked me to inform you yesterday that he would like you to arrange, when the Cadillac returns to this Country, for the body to be removedin London where all the London Coachbuilders' technical experts can be present, not only to see the method of mounting,but also to examine the body after-wards and take careful notes of certain features of construction, weight of parts,etc. This couldbe done at a time when you will no doubt have the chassis at W. for investigation of certain chassis features. Would you please say if you can give me any idea as to when this arrangement is likely to be possible ? Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} -RWB | ||
