Cooch Gen The original letter from Mulliners returned herewith. I have taken particulars. With regard to the list of "fittings to be supplied now". As a result of our recent visit to Wilmot-Breeden we shall be unable to supply Mulliners with certain fittings for some while yet. In fact the only fittings we can actually supply from stock are - Dovetails. Interior Roof Lamp & Switch. Boot Lock & Handle. Lock fittings and Handles for Spare Wheel Door. 1 pair of special wing clamps - These Are apparently the only record available and should be drawn for Lucas before being released. For further information they will have to work to makers prints. I will endeavour to obtain drawings of all fittings that we require to be used. You will see from the copy of my letter to Wilmot-Breeden that our drawing liabilities are rather heavy. The present office arrangement is totally inadequate to cope with this or our future commitments. [Signature] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RG.{Mr Rowledge} | ||
