| SECRET S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7770. C14/C29.4.29 Re "SS{S. Smith}" We are trying to get together some photographs for the catalogue ready for when we issue the "SS{S. Smith}". We may be able to use photos, of existing cars with certain artistic touchings up, but we would like to see a photograph of a car first. We do not want to get an outside photographer on to the job. Perhaps you have a fairly large camera at the Works, or know someone who has one, with which you could take a photograph yourselves. Get as good looking a body as you can. I am sending you herewith a photograph which shows you the particular angle that we always use. This shows up a part of the radiator as well as the lines of the body, and we would like the car photographed from this angle. Enc. C. | ||
