| TO C. FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M18.11.24. X8-830 X8380 X9380 re. BODIES ON SUB-FRAMES. Confirming our telephone conversation yesterday afternoon we are now completing the designs of the sub-frame for a chassis having a 36" frame, wider and higher dashboard like EAC. 2., and the new side levers. We believe it will be this chassis frame to which the two enclosed limousines and one cabriolet will be fitted. The remaining drawings will be in Derby in the course of a day or two, and we should imagine that a sub-frame will be ready in a week or so from that date. Will HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} please arrange to send the first sub-frame to Messrs Hoopers? EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} on completion of the designs will just call at both Barkers & Hoopers with a view to explaining the technical difficulties that may arise. Concerning your C16/LH{Mr Haworth}171124., 3rd para., regarding the Hooper enclosed limousine we certainly think that it will be quite in order for us to buy that body.
