| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8724 C8/C16.8.27 The following is copy of a telephone message received from R. {Sir Henry Royce} in regard to 10-EX, blue sports car:- "There is no hurry about this matter, but assuming BJ. will be returning to London today with 10-EX and that Dodd is still with it, I think it would be advisable to send it down to WW. as on account of the hurried criticism that I made on friday last, and before recommending any modifications, I should like to see it again. It is understood that this type of car is to take the place of the old London to Edinburgh(1909 40/50, overdrive top gear). It is produced on somewhat the same lines, but with a slightly different object. When we have got it to a somewhat more advanced degree of perfection we would like CWB., and other members of our Sales staff to test it" I presume you will send the car at once. C. | ||
