HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG27.9.22.

Now that it has been decided to retain 4-Goshawk-11 car in London for demonstration purposes we recommend that the driver who will drive this car and look after it should come to the Works. We could cram him with the necessary instructions to keep the car in good running order.

The car will be ready to leave Derby on Monday Oct. 2nd.

We have then promised it shall be driven to W.W. in order that photographs of Mr. Royce in the car can be taken.

R.is aware that this car should be in London on the morning of the 4th.

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

MADE AT CROXLEY
