| S/W Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x1729 C13/C21.8.34 I think you will be interested to see the attached copy of letter from Mr.Sclater-Booth, Managing Director of Hoopers, after examining the Cadillac. We may mention that we do not agree with his views about the ventilation, although the top louvres are quite good so long as they are made to stand proud of the body. If you are taking the body off the chassis we shall be glad to know the weight of it, complete with wings and all other coachwork items. C. | ||
