" Leather Condition Paintwork and upholstery is in good condition, but windows rattle a little. Do you think this would be of any use in the experimental dept., and what could you offer?

W[?]r [Note 2:] Y414 Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} say he do not require this. It is difficult to know if it would suit a Nottm chassis. v.{VIENNA} 74/14 [Note 3:] Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} We have plenty of bodies at present. We may require it later on for either a Nottm or Williamson Chassis. WB{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell} [Pre-printed footer:] This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
