Honeyman - Retail orders} from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X1087 Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/14.1.29. c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 23-EX - OPEN TOURER FOR 'SS{S. Smith}'. X.7830 X.1087 We forgot to mention the fitting of a rear screen to open body which the Carlton [overtyped: xxxxx] Carriage Co. are making for 23.EX when we drew up the specification. We have instructed them to fit either an Auster or a M.E. screen, whichever they find most suitable for the body. Would you kindly send them an official order, and if 'sales' have any particular choice between the two would you kindly give them their views. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
