| 1021. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/ML. 28th. Feb: 1940. C.W.Breedon, Esq., Messrs Wilmot-Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camdon Street. Birmingham. 1. Dear Breedon, I went to Park Ward's yesterday and confirmed the arrangements that they will send you a complete set of B.V. body hardware, which will include ventilating windows, boot-locks and also one of our better types of door handle. At the same time, I have asked him to let you have a template of a body moulding. The suggestion is that you collect alternatives to our present material that you would be in a position to supply, and give us pre-war quotations for them in quantities of 500 sets and 5,000 sets. When you have them available for inspection, Mr. Ward, Mr. Green and myself will visit Birmingham and discuss the matter with you. Yours sincerely, | ||
