Test dept. have purchased the body off this chassis from Paris Office. On this body there was fitted a cape cart hood, which I understand was not required by the Test dept. I believe however, that when Mr.Loder was here about his car 2212, some-one in the Repair dept. promised that the hood should be taken off this car and fitted to his. Can you please tell me what the hood was sold for, in order that we may debit Mr. Loder, as I suppose we will have to.
