| X9940 W/S C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SECRET. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG11.10.23. RE. TEST BODIES. X9840 With reference to your C9/C10.10.23. We have despatched chassis 35-PK and 93 NK. to Messrs. Barkers yesterday by train. Will you please arrange to have one of the chassis sent over to Messrs. Park Wards. We should like one of the early chassis to be fitted with a heavy covered body. For some of our tests we should like a covered body with the maximum amount of weight in the roof that you are ever likely to use. We suggest the body for this will be either the Pullman limousine or the limousine Coupe. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
