| 101 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 1011 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 21.2.38. 34-EX. This chassis which did the Nairobi run now has a new body and S. keep asking us what parts are non-standard and what should be removed. This car is far from standard as even such items as the crankcase are pre-production. It is being sold 2nd. hand and we recommend no alterations are made as any parts that fail can be replaced by new production pieces. Do you agree ? Agreed Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
