Henderson - Showroom} 19.1.44. Coach Gen [handwritten] SENIOR RANGE COACHWORK. I have located the outline drawings mentioned to you. This was a further stage of development prepared in 1940 and will probably need some revision with new ideas incorporated. Attached to this memo. please find a copy of the proposal, together with prints MB.105, MB.106, MB.107, MB.108, MB.109 and MB.110. As a matter of interest, Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, at the time this scheme was submitted gave his approval to the designs MB.107 and MB.110. He will probably wish to revise his sanctions of three years ago. Please let me have your comments. [Signature] Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/RG.{Mr Rowledge} | ||
