| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8830 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from BJ. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sports Model. BJ17/E25/11/27 I spoke to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} concerning the attached. The dummy chassis will be ready in a few days and, if you will let Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} know to which coachbuilder you wish it to be sent, he will arrange accordingly. The suggestion is that, as soon as the body is complete, it can be transferred from the dummy chassis, sent to Derby and fitted to the 10,000 miles chassis. It is very essential that the coachbuilders should push on with the completion of this one body for the test. BJ. Attached: BJ3/E23/11/27 | ||
