To R.{Sir Henry Royce} } Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} } From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} } 84057. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/MJ.15.12.32. G.W.Hancock will be returning in the Peregrine this week end. During the last 5,000 miles we have asked him to run the car over bad roads. We know that it has had a terrific gruelling, so the fact that we have had no major failures we think is very satisfactory. If the car gets through the present test satisfactorily we shall feel satisfied that we have eliminated the risk of any hidden defects.
