| W/K. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/R.27.1.37. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked me to release Hamilton to go with the P.III on a Press trip across country to South Africa. In view of this you would probably like to send out Scholes to make up your drivers; on the other hand, 3.B.IV. will not be out before a fortnight or so, and 6.B.IV. is likely to be out of action for two or three weeks, so that probably you will have all the testers you want for the time being. I think it would be a good idea to get two or three fellows tested in London to ascertain whether they are reasonable drivers so that you can call on them if for any reason we have two or three cars running in France.
