C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X.5830. 25HP ENCLOSED DRIVE LIMOUSINE - WIDE FRAME EXPERIMENT. We wired you today as follows: "PLEASE COLLECT PARK WARD BODY THURSDAY NOON CERTAIN," and hope you will be able to take delivery as arranged, for Park Wards have worked overtime, and all the week- end, to finish before Easter. The writer would like to come to Derby to assist in the mounting of the body, and would be glad if you could inform him a day beforehand when this will actually take place. This will enable him to explain to your staff any of the special features in connection with the mounting, and to see any faults in the fit of the body, so that we may avoid them on the second and third bodies. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} P.S. We apologise for suggesting that it would be a fitting gesture if you sent Mr. Park a little note of appreciation of his efforts.
