| 1021. HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.24.11.38. PRODUCTION OF CHASSIS. As you are probably aware, there has been considerable delay in the production of experimental bodies due to the internal disorganisation of Park Wards. This was straightened out about six weeks' ago, but it meant that 10-B-V chassis was hanging about here a fortnight waiting for the body. This will not occur in the future, and Park Wards are definitely going to be ready for 2.B.50 chassis on December 1st, and for the Wraith Replacement and the next B.V. chassis before Christmas.
