to fit it to a Barker car, for the approval of the Sales Conference and the C.S.C. Alternatively a car could be sent down so fitted.

The C.S.C. agreed that it would be unwise to issue chassis prints shewing the semi-flexible arrangement for the 200 chassis of "J" Series, and then to go to total isolation.on "K" Series.
If we cannot have the stays on "J" series as we hoped that we should do we think that we should carry on as we are until we can issue the stays.
The subject has been a trouble which we have for a long time been trying to clear up. Mr Royce has now given us the means of providing a column which does not need the support of the coachwork and we are anxious to take advantage of it. We shall then be in a position to leave the coachbuilder to build his body as he wishes and if he wishes to use scuttle isolation or any other feature which is strictly a coachwork item he will be free to do so.

Would HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, and By please tell us what they can do to speed up the standardisation of this feature .
