| LES X7380/ same HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}.from C. RE SUB-FRAMES. RECEIVED 1932 JUN 13 H With reference to my previous memos. upon this point, I am afraid we must make up our minds definitely almost immediately in regard to the cars we are having built for the Paris Show. We must inform them during the course of the next two or three days whether they are to build bodies suitable for sub-frames or not. If, therefore, you are unable at the moment to advise definitely that we shall be safe in leaving the sub-frame out, we must go ahead on these bodies at least, and send sub-frames out. I shall be glad if you will please let me know. C. | ||
