Bumpers for Wraith III. In our E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/MN.21.11.36 we asked you to obtain for us front and rear bumpers for 24.G.6 and 25.G.6. We have now put in hand cars 26.G.6 and 27.G.6 and shall require bumpers for them. Would you kindly instruct immediately two sets of front and rear bumpers for these cars, to be delivered to the Expl. Dept. at Derby, one set not later than the end of this month. The design of the front bumper is shown on LeC.5386, that of the rear bumper on LeC.5267. Prints of both of these schemes have been sent to you in connection with the previous order, and were handed over to the J.R. Engineering Co. We would like these bumpers equipped with standard Phantom lll over-riders. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
