| To IP from EH. Copy for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} re:- your car. When at Park Ward's on Thursday I asked them about the progress of the body for your car. They told me that they had just started to frame it up. I informed them that the chassis would arrive in about ten days time and that we hoped that since the body had been ordered so long ago, it would be ready for the chassis. If we can obtain the steel in time we are proposing to fit steel wings of the standard shape. Alternatively, we might ask Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} to agree to fit a pair of aluminium wings and running boards in one unit, which he might like to test. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
