Bowen} X4117 D/BP/HD{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}23/WS.29.9.31 RECEIVED Re: Chassis No.GFT-43 - The Marquis of Cholmondeley. Further to our memo D/BP/HD{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}1/WS.10.9.31. and BY/Cghl/G.11.9.31. concerning the three special features specified by this customer, the special items mentioned by BY have been passed along to this customer by Sales Dept. but up to the moment Sales have not received any response. We understand that Sales Dept. have addressed a further communication to Lord Cholmondeley to the effect that we conclude that he has decided not to incur the heavy expense involved in connection with the Rudge Whitworth wire wheels, also that he will be satisfied with the petrol filler cap of the hinge type and a clutch stop of the type we normally fit. Will you please therefore proceed accordingly. D/BP | ||
