Draper - Frames} [struck through] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} [struck through] BY.3/G.2.9.38. 3RD. BODY FOR B.111. As a result of my visit to Park Ward's on Monday, 29th August, and the settling up of various outstanding points, which appear to have caused delay in the production of the body, we have obtained a promise from Park Wards for delivery of the above body on October 29th. This is a date which they promise to keep, and will endeavour to improve upon if possible. They think that if there are no further delays they may shorten the period by possibly 5 or 6 days. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
