| Now AT. Camacho, W.Wittering. BODIES FOR STORK(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes) HERON(Experimental 6 CYL OHV 40/50 WITH PNEUMATIC F.W.B. air pump on camshaft, then Servo) To hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Dal/MS.1.23. BODIES FOR "STORK(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes)" & "HERON(Experimental 6 CYL OHV 40/50 WITH PNEUMATIC F.W.B. air pump on camshaft, then Servo)" X.4113. Replying to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG6.1.23., we are setting out an open touring body for "Stork(Experimental pneumatic (air) front wheel brakes)" today, and we hope we shall get Mr. Royce to look at it today or tomorrow, after which we expect to be able to send it you immediately. Presumably these cars would also have to have one of the heaviest type of closed body fitted, for instance, a double cabriolet. London we believe have ordered many of these for long chassis. We suggest that you should get them to send you what they can do. Mr. Royce may, or may not, wish us to give you particulars of a closed body but we will let you know as soon as possible.
