Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg{J. C. Bowring}2/KW9.1.34. We have now fitted the parts supplied by you to bring the hand brake forward, in order to allow for the fitting of hand controlled shock absorbers at a later date. The chassis is now off test and will probably be declared to Sales tomorrow. Before we actually do this however, will you kindly say if there are any other modifications or alterations from standard which should be incorporated before the chassis is despatched. For instance, we understand that the dynamo constant voltage vibrator regulator is being considered for production. If this is to be incorporated, it will probably mean rather considerable alterations to the wiring which would be a difficult matter to carry out after the bodywork is fitted.
