| X4704 To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} c.c. to Ey. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/KT.20.11.33. VULTURE CHASSIS. We are already commencing the first chassis and we presume you are proceeding with the body. We should be glad if you could let us have immediately the dash profile and bonnet dimensions. We have only the N.Sch.3639 to work to and this is necessarily rather sketchy as far as these particulars are concerned. We shall be glad of any other particulars as early as possible e.g. body brackets, step irons, wing stays etc. but we require the dashboard information immediately as this is almost the first part fitted when erecting a new chassis.
