Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls}

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} 2/R.1.11.37.

WIND NOISES IN BODIES.

With regard to your Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 14/RH. {R. Hollingworth} 28.10.37., we do not think Mr. Ward is 'au fait' with all the memos which have been written on this subject. We would refer you to memos - Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/IH.20.2.34. and Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/IH.20.2.34., in which Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} dealt with this trouble.

We also send you a copy of a recent memo Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/G.28.10.37. in which you will notice Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} states that most of the suggestions from this Factory have been disregarded by Park Wards on the Wraith bodies.

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} suggests that Mr. Ward should have all the information available so as to be in a position to answer any questions that are raised, and that we should then arrange a date for meeting at the Works.

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls}

P.S. Also, you could refer Mr. Ward to a letter written to his firm dated 22nd February, 1934 - reference Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/IH.22.2.34.
