| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X1042 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.29.7.36. At the last Conference, reference Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}9/ES.17.7.36, we got Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} to agree that the Works would have to release a chassis in order to enable us to replace 30-EX within a reasonable period. I hope that we shall be able to take full advantage of this decision. What we are actually proposing to do is to rebuild 32-EX as a Continental Phantom car, but this chassis will in this case require a lot of experimental pieces. Out of the chassis obtained from the Works, however, we might get some parts for 32-EX, and use the remainder to bring 30-EX up to date.
