Jaguar frame which costs £7.10.0d and the Ford truck frame, we are getting them to quote for B.III frame. If their figure is satisfactory compared with that of Briggs, we should prefer to place the order with Sankeys, due to the inaccessibility of Briggs. ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
