Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KW.16.1.35. Chassis B-169-CW. Summers. Replying to LE7/C.15.1.35, we despatched the bumper bar for this car yesterday, the 15th inst., by a test chassis going to Lillie Hall. Will you please let us have your report on the car when you have tried it. This Bumper Bar is a model for those which Wilmot-Breeden's will produce from now onwards for production. For this reason, if you have anything else of interest at Park Wards next week we might come down and go over this bumper bar job with you to make sure there is no point that we have missed. We presume that the Works have dealt with the starting handle on this car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
