Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/HP.19.1.34. With reference to your memo. re the above, it is too late to incorporate the well for the passenger's feet in the first set of rubber covered metal floorboards, as these are finished and are now being fitted to 3-B-4. We propose making the second set of metal floorboards with two wells, and to fit up this scheme on 2-B-4 when it is re-built. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
