| 200B Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/AW c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 404 BY.4/G.5.11.37. BENTLEY 111 - COACHWORK. Re: Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/G.28.10.37. It has been agreed by Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} that the second body should be a Mulliners, Birmingham, "Composite" body. Particulars as to procedure will be discussed with C. during his visit to the Works on Tuesday next. The main issue will be to settle how the matter is to be approached, so as not to disclose any idea of a new chassis; so far we have only talked to Mulliners of a more economic body as if for present chassis.
