| -5- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.13.12.37. Briefly, cannot we have some definite target, however distant, to aim at on body work, so that gradual but continuous organisation can proceed to achieve the required result. At the moment we are planning five years ahead on chassis, but the responsibility for bodies seems to be divided between Derby and London with a horizon about two years distant. In our experience it is difficult enough to get results even when everyone is clear about the objective. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
