We are supplying the above new chassis to Mr. Raymond Mays, on which there are some special features which have been agreed to by Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}, and we are taking back his old car, B.24.GA. It was suggested at one time that the chromium plated wheels on his old car, B.24.GA. should be transferred to the new one, but other arrangements are now being made. Sales now ask what we suggest in regard to the chromium plated wheels on B.24.GA. Can they stay on the chassis for the ultimate buyer of this car, or is it in our interests to dispose of these wheels and put on standard wheels? Will you please let us have your opinion on this matter, so that we can advise Sales what action should be taken. [Signature] D/BP.
