We have 3-B-IV at Park Wards. They 'phoned yesterday to say that there is no junction box on the frame for body lighting, also they say that the switch box wires are too short.

The reason for both these troubles is that the chassis is one of the first experimental type and had the instrument board near the dash.

Could you please arrange to have these two jobs rigged up so that the car can be driven to the Works. We will finish it off here.
