In reply to Tr {Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} 23/LM9.8.38, either the 24th or 25th would be convenient for the visit of Mr. Milnes. He should ask for Mr. H.A. Ward when he arrives at the Works.

Will Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} please note that Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} would like Mr. Milnes, who is the Managing Director of Allied Motors in India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes), to be given a run in a Wraith, and he suggests that Mx {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} 's car would be the most suitable for this purpose.
