| -2- REMARKS. It will be seen that practically nothing has been done on Myth since the end of June, and as it will take at least 3 months to complete even if the promise to get men working on the job in 14 day's time is kept, it will be the end of November before it is finished. It is difficult to understand why only approximately 15% of the work has been commenced in view of the fact that the target date for completion is the end of August, and considering that at least 90% of the necessary information has been supplied up to date. Regarding B.V, I again wish to point out how necessary it is to have drawings and jigs completed as soon as possible so that they are ready to pass on to Messrs. Motor Panels when they are required, as it may be not only a matter of getting supplies of satisfactory panels, but how long they may have to wait if Motor Panels' presses and men get started on other work before five jigs are available. Regarding the lightened B.V. body, I consider it advisable that Messrs. Park Ward should submit drawings to us of the parts effected and to which modifications that are to be made before proceeding with the work; this will help to ensure us getting a modified body with the alterations incorporated to our ideas.
