7th August, 1941.

BIRMINGHAM.

Attention of Mr. Spicer.

Dear Mr. Spicer,

We are sending you herewith a print of the body mouldings. As you will probably remember, the drawing which you have was hurriedly finished so that you could take it with you. We found that, in one place, it was dimensioned in such a manner that it could be misread. To avoid this happening, we have dimensioned the drawing in a different manner and send you a print showing the change made.

Regarding the glass channels for the rear window regulators, since the length of the regulator arm has been altered, it will be necessary for the slides on the glass channels to be lengthened. I am wondering if you have this in hand. The channels will still be the same length, i.e. 24", but it will be necessary to have a 7" slide welded in the centre of the glass channel. You probably know all about this, but I thought it advisable to mention it in case it might have been overlooked.

I should be glad to know what day you hope to come over next week, as I have to go to London and would like to arrange it so that I am available when you come here.

Yours sincerely,
