re. GSK-35. 20-HP. Trials Landaulette.

With reference to your memo. PN {Mr Northey} /Bk {A. Birkett - Commercial Manager} 6/LH {Mr Haworth} 7.12.26., unfortunately both EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} and Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} were away on Tuesday. We were able to make arrangements, however, for Mr. Robotham to try the car on behalf of Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and we understand he is sending a report through.

We also understand that the car was tried by someone in the Repair Dept. on behalf of Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}

Can it be arranged for the car to call at the Works on its way back from Edinburgh? If so, we will endeavour to arrange for EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} or someone on his behalf and Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} if available, to try it. if necessary

Thn.
