Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from CJ. To PN{Mr Northey} from CJ. To CWB. from CJ. YS770 EAC.II. With reference to memorandum CJS/E22/10/24, in which I asked for opinions as to whether we should be safe in reckoning on the delivery by the Works to London of 3 EAC.II's a week from the middle of April next, of a quality in every respect at least as good as the quality of the present standard chassis, Please let me have your opinion as soon as possible as, if it is decided to build a further 100 of the standard chassis to continue our business from the middle of April next, the date atwhich material should have been ordered has already passed.
