Sidgreaves - MD}20/E19.335 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.16.3.35 the reason we had to send a Barker-bodied Phantom was because we have not a car of that type with a Park Ward body, but in any case we think it is just as well that more than one coachbuilder should be shown how to do this job by Wyman whilst he is on the spot. Many thanks for the details given in Wyman's report showing how the job should be carried out. He certainly is, as you say, to be commended on the way he has carried through the job. Sg.{Arthur F.
