| -2- With the exception of the bonnets, front aprons and centre metal plates, all the parts would have to come from W. You may wish to ask Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} whether he could arrange for them to be supplied. You may also wish to ask him to investigate whether there is any possibility of W. supplying the necessary parts to permit of the completion of any of the very incomplete chassis Nos. B-V-20 to B-V-25 inclusive, referred to in item No. 5 above. The bonnets, front aprons and centre metal plates were intended to be supplied by Motor Panels, and I am in correspondence with them on the possibility of supplying a few of each. I am not, however, hopeful of success with them, as I know them to be exceedingly busy on war work. It might, however, be possible for W. to produce the parts as they have, I understand, collected the jigs and tools from Motor Panels' Works at Coventry. Hn.{F. C.
