| To DY.{F R Danby} from BJ. Copy to.... Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 47770 BJ13/H6.11.25. E.A.C. 8 - General Arrangement. With reference to EY2/H28.10.25, I attach a copy of BJ2/H2.11.25 and LHS{Lord Herbert Scott}/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}27/WH5.11.25. We shall be glad to see the complete car fitted with the open body mentioned. Do you consider that this will give us a fair impression of what will be the final appearance of a complete car of this new design? We cannot form any opinion of whether the Sales officials will approve of the new design until we have seen a complete car, as the alterations to the general appearance may prove rather drastic.
