BARQUELITE BODY FOR MR. ROYCE. X5770 The date for the completion of this body is Friday the 20th. We are hoping that the body will be put on a passenger train on Friday evening, which will give us an opportunity of getting the body mounted during the weekend. The date on which this car must be completed for R.{Sir Henry Royce} does not allow any extension of time for Messrs. Barkers. We should be glad therefore if you will confirm that the body will be sent off passenger train and we shall receive it early on Sat. the 21st. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
