Sft.{Mr Swift}7/BH.2.7.34. In the first place we have not thought it desirable to deal with chassis at coachbuilders, as there are few in number and it might have started customers pouring the cars into us before we were ready, but in discussing the matter with Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} he feels that we should do the cars which can be got at, and that when he issues the Depot Sheet he will arrange that the others should be done as soon as possible, as and when they become available at our Depots.
