Dear Sir, Re Experimental Body for 24.G.6. -------------------------------- We are sending you herewith drawings giving sufficient information to enable you to commence the full-size drawing of an 'E' Steering Limousine and a dummy chassis for the same, the car being 24.G.6. The writer will make an appointment to call on you some time during Thursday or Friday of this week to go over the drawings in detail, but there is sufficient information to enable you to start work on the full-size drawing of the body and the dummy chassis aft of the dashboard. Subsequent drawings which will be sent to you will enable you to make a dummy bonnet and radiator so that you can produce the front wings. It is an advantage that the dummy chassis be built in two parts detachable at the dashboard as you have done on a previous occasion. The prints herewith are:- Lec.5289. 1/16th. scale of 'E' Steering Limousine, with Dropping Division. Lec.5164. Arrangement of Body Brackets and Step Irons. Lec.5144.) Lec.5143.)
