REPORT ON PROGRESS OF BODY WORK BY PARK WARD MYTH [Handwritten: 704] [Handwritten: 404] No further work has been done on this since the meeting on June 24th, with the exception of parts for the front pan, which are now ready for assembly. At the meeting, the following parts were inspected :- A set of chassis frame components less the front pan. Base of body including heel board, seat pan, wheel arches and mounting brackets. Mr. Ward estimates that it will be a month before the chassis frame is assembled, and that it will take them at least 3 months to complete the remainder. He has promised that in 14 day's time, he will have five men on jigs for this job; at present, these men are working on jigs for aircraft. B.V. Drawings. A small amount of work has been done on the full size layout since our last visit a month ago. Mr. Ward has now promised that he will have 4 draughtsmen on this job in 14 day's time. [Handwritten initials] Jigs. No further work has been done on these. Mr. Ward's estimate for the completion of them is two month's after the Myth jigs are finished, or in 4 month's time.
