Bodies. ---------- We now enclose Park Ward & Co's print No. 13325 of a Drop-Head Coupé On B.3. chassis. The print shows alternative treatments of the luggage locker. We shall show on the Bentley Stand at Earl's Court a body of this type with the luggage locker as shown on the flap marked "B". You may like to make a point of seeing this body. It will be appreciated that if the luggage locker be as shown in either of the two flaps attached to the main print, the plan view of the body at the back end will differ very slightly from that shown on the main print. We would add that By had a preliminary view of the drawing from which the print was prepared when he was at Park Ward's Works on the 29th.ult. He then asked for a modification to the front wings, and this was made and is incorporated in the print. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} ----- ENCL: | ||
