| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from BJ. Copy to..... Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SECRET. X8770 E.A.O.II. BJ12/H17.10.24. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}22/M16.10.24. We think that as there are so many alterations in the chassis, it would be advisable for us to start a test as soon as possible. Please ask Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to call here to talk the matter over with C.J. on his way to W.W. Please also let us know what arrangements can be made for some old body to be adapted, so that the car will be as inconspicuous as possible. The adaptation should be done at our works, and not at the coachbuilders. We wish to consider where the test could most safely be made - probably in Spain. B.J. | ||
