Cox - Advertising Manager}7/KW27.1.36. Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW26.1.36. We are pleased that you can release this dummy chassis, and feel you would be more interested in having these jacks fitted on one of your running cars as this should be of more practical value. No doubt you have already carried out a good deal of testing with the jacks on the dummy. The chassis should when ready be despatched to Hooper's Works, 77, Kings Road, Chelsea. If you will kindly let me know when it is being sent off I will advise Hoopers. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} -Suel | ||
