Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.4/AP.4.4.38 WIDNEY BONNET HINGE - WRAITH - SCHEMES FCD.564 & FCD.411. We wish to get the above schemes on 28.G.Vl.{V. Lewis / Mr Valentine} car whilst it is in the Shop for modernisation - as they are not to be on the first 300 Wraith chassis, it is not expedient to occupy G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Dept time in detailing same now, in view of urgency of B.30 etc. Will you therefore detail schemes FCD.564 and FCD.411 for us, as these will go on an existing radiator and dash, and let us have the top plate and hinge details in advance of the rest so that Messrs Hallam, Sleigh & Cheston can fit up same.
