| D/BP. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C. Despatch Stores. C. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/AD. 2.4.32 We are sending into the Stores for despatch to M.Olley Esq. Engineering Dept. Cadillac Motor Car Co. Detroit, Michigan U.S.A. One 1 3/4" throttle dia. S.U. carburetter. This carburetter has apparently been obtained with other redundant material from Bentley Motors. Will you please invoice this carburetter to the Cadillac Motor Car Co. at second-hand value figure which we think should not be more than £3. As we owe the Cadillac Co. a certain sum of money for the parts they have sent over from America for the Exptl. Dept. you could probably balance the S.U. carburetter against that invoice.
