We send herewith N.Sch. 3608. showing the modified plate on the sloping floorboard of N.Sch.3563. necessitated by the change to the J.I. engine. For all other particulars N.Sch. 3563. still applies.
We also send herewith N.Sch.3609. showing a layout of the gear box and clutch casing shown in elevation in the chassis in conjunction with the floor and body. The position on the gearbox is that already given to you by a memo.
The body shown is that which we shall deliver to you for the first two cars and has been taken from the coachbuilder's full size drawing.
We believe that we have now completed the instructions for the floor supplied with the chassis.
