| R.R. 235A (100 T) (S.H. 159, 11-8-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 ORIGINAL MISC R TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M26.8.25. RR. LUGGAGE GRID. +sr/oo Replying to your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG21825., the position of the body guard which you shew on your sketch, and which you have apparently got on the particular chassis in question, is in the short body position shewn on N. schemes 2028. and 1819. We have also shewn a long body position, which, as we have indicated in pencil on your sketch, brings the luggage just clear of the maximum body which we call for on the coachbuilders drawings. When there are bodies still longer than this, as no doubt sometimes is the case, we shall have to provide a special bracket as you have indicated, but we do not think we can officially provide for this, as it is in excess of the instructions on the coachbuilders print.
