| Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/EH.30.4.38 cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} (4) (2) (b) That Mr.Finney should be present at suitable times during the mounting of the body at Derby. (3) It was agreed that F.CD.479 shews all that is required to enable Coachbuilders to proceed with Wide Frame 25/30 bodies up to Framing and Panelling, but certain other information would be needed in the form of schemes for the Scuttle Isolation Floorboards etc., and these will be available in due course. No special instructions are considered necessary dealing with the construction of such bodies, except with reference to the mounting of bodies having demountable tops and these instructions will be available shortly. (4) Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} explained that he had learned from Mr.Ridlington of the J.R.Engineering Co., that whilst he did not like letting us make the bumper over-rider used on R.R.cars now supplied by him, he would not oppose our making it, or our having it made for use on our cars.
