Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/KW.3.12.34. Can you tell us the present position of the stabilising bumper please? As you know, Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has given instructions that whenever a customer orders a front bumper it is to be of the stabilising type, and we have one or two cars approaching completion which are affected. One of them is B-9-CW - Professor Dodds - who is a friend of Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} and to which we have been specially asked to fit a stabilising bumper. This car is to be delivered without fail on January 1st. and we should naturally like to get the bumper on before then. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
