| 1092 To Mr. Barkworth. (transport dept) c. to Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}2/JH.15.1.40. It is now 2 weeks since we first asked you to let us know when it would be possible to deliver to Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd., London, the Studebaker body which is in sections. We realise that to cut transport costs we have been waiting for a return load. Would it be possible, however to get quicker service from an outside firm like Dean & Dawson, who may have goods to return. We are very anxious that they should receive this body.
