| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 48830 ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EVL/M1.12.27. RECEIVED DEC 2 1927 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SPORTS BODIES. We are already somewhat held up with these bodies for the front and rear cross members and supports, as they should be built into the base of the body when the side girders are fixed. Could you do anything to speed these up, and also give us an indication as to when we may receive them. They can be delivered to Lillie Hall, and if you notify us of their coming we will arrange with HN.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} for them to be delivered to the coachbuilders. You will see from the attached how the job stands. We would like you to give us your views on the question of providing the second very elementary dummy.
