We are advised by Sales that the ultimate owner of this car insists upon a wireless set being installed. Apparently he possesses a wireless set which he intends to hand over to the Coachbuilder on the arrival of the chassis in Londong and he expects the Coachbuilder to fit it. Sales state Wst. has recently conducted some investigations into the installation of radio sets, and they will be grateful if you will kindly ascertain whether he is in a position to make any recommendations for the benefit of the Coachbuilders which will be useful to them in fitting up the set on this car. Unfortunately, Sales have not so far succeeded in obtaining the name of the maker of the set, but they take it the problems are more or less the same with all sets. D/BP | ||
