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. | ||
