| C6/C8338 8th March 1938 Raymond Mays, Esq., Eastgate House, Bourne, Lincolnshire. Dear Mr.Raymond Mays, Thanks for your letter of yesterday and I am sorry to hear that you do not think your present car as good as your late one. I would certainly like you to send it to Derby as soon as you can spare it. In the meantime, I note that you sent it yesterday just for the day. I further note that when you can spare it, it can be sent afterwards to Park Wards to cure the body rattles, squeaks, etc. I am conveying your remarks to our Works so that they may be aware of your opinion and take the opportunity of carefully checking the car over as soon as they get the opportunity. I note your theory in regard to the larger section tyres, and I am asking the Works what they think about this as, of course, they carried out many tests before agreeing to supply them, including comparative tests. I also note you would like to try your present car against your late car but I shall have to look further into this; I am not quite certain whether we can get hold of it. I will write you again in due course on this point. With kindest regards. Yours sincerely, | ||
