| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DERBY X18A. 3729 27/10/20 LANDAULET FOR EXPERIMENTAL CENTRAL CONTROL CAR. As you are aware, the strike at the Coachbuilders has held up completion of this body. If the men come back, the coachbuilders will require from one to two weeks to prepare the body ready for chassis. In the meantime they will be glad to know if you decide to alter the height of the dash board, making it 2" higher than the present standard instead of 1" higher, as shown on the drawing in Hooper's hands. Hoopers would like to know this as soon as possible, as one of the first jobs they will proceed with when the men come back is the making of the scuttles.
