Re. Experimental Bodies.

Replying to Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 20/E.20.5.37. we have gone into the position of the chassis intended for bodies No.5. and 6. In view of the delays caused by modifications found necessary to the frame it seems to be very doubtful whether the chassis will be ready as soon as we expected and in consequence it will not be worthwhile working overtime on the bodies.
