re Peregrine Bodies. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}33/E13.10.32

Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.7.10.32. This question is one to which we have already given considerable thought in London.

As a matter of fact we already have quotations for bodies in batches [Strikethrough] quantities from Park Ward and we had in mind that we would give them the first bulk order.

I am interested to note that you think that by collaborating with [Strikethrough] them you might be able to improve still further the position of body rattles, and I will discuss the question here again and then raise it when [Strikethrough] I am next at Derby.

I might say that we also have had under consideration the question of confining [Strikethrough] Peregrine to complete cars, i.e. not offering chassis except [Strikethrough] possibly in countries overseas where there is a heavy duty on coach-work.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
