| Private and Confidential To Mr. A.W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X7772 Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}4/T.10.3.30. I attach a complete statement of Mr. Olley's notes on chassis for America. It is very important that we do concentrate on the items necessary for the first 200 chassis - that is, the items that are agreed to be fitted to these chassis, and which, I presume will be fitted to the chassis made for this country, that is to say - the product for both countries will be identical. Whilst it is advisable to do all possible in collaboration with Oy. and discussions on experiments and further improving the chassis, concentration should only be applied to those parts that are necessary for the two experimental chassis which we are making, and for the 200 chassis which we are proposing to make, that is to say, we want to simplify our job by concentration on just those parts necessary for the 200 chassis and the two experimental, leaving the other items which are not at present agreed to for further developments.
