| -2- Having worked on this mock-up to the satisfaction of all concerned we will then build an Experimental body to this design. The suggestion was mentioned that you should produce dies and fixtures for a part of a body in order to demonstrate and test the practicability of the proposed method of production which you have in mind. We confirm that you agreed that the front wings of 3.B.5. would be the part which you felt would be most useful to demonstrate with. The dies would not be wasted as they could, if satisfactory, be used for the B.5. type chassis production. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED, W Harvey Bailey CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
