Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/JH.4.11.40. re Myth Frontal Appearance. We have now completed a fully dimensioned scheme of the 'Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}' type front for Myth shewn on PL.382 (2 sheets) the originals of which are attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy of this memo. not We shall go ahead with a ½ scale model in Plasticine to test the dimensioned sections given, and we hope to be sufficiently far ahead with the final model to be able to incorporate on it any slight modifications which our model may indicate as being desirable. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. please see that we get a print of each sheet of this scheme by return as we want to get moving on our model.
