Huckerby}7.5.25. "Before taking a definite decision, however, the C.S.C. would like to see some photographs of the Dummy car, as photographs of course, give a much better idea of the appearance of a car than the line drawings made up by Coachbuilders. Could you therefore, kindly arrange for the Dummy car to be photographed in each of the following positions :- (a) Broad-side. (b) ‡ Front view. (c) Front view. (d) Back view. We would like to receive these photographs on Wednesday next at the latest as we have none too much time in which to settle all details of our exhibits at Olympia". Could you please arrange to do this tomorrow morning (Saturday) in the Experimental Shop. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW. | ||
