| S/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls} to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [struck through] [Handwritten initial, possibly FB, struck through] 260.? [handwritten] 3-B-1V Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}2/KW1.9.38 Will you please let us know if this chassis- which I understand you have now finished with- is, or will be when handed over, to standard specification. I rather gather from the brief details which C. has supplied to me that there are some special features about it, such as, centrifugally assisted clutch. Would you therefore please say if it is proposed to make this chassis completely standard, whether it will require thoroughly overhauling before we can resell it in good order, roughly what the mileage is to date and when we can expect it in the condition in which we should need to have it for sale purposes.
