| To D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG28.5.24. 4676 CHATEAUROUX. 4676 x9941 With reference to the attached D14/DL26.5.24. enclosing HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}3/Dm{D. Munro}/AW23.5.24. Both 98-NK and 9-PK cars will carry out tests in France. 98-NK has been returned to the Works for modifications, but we anticipate this car will be leaving for France again next week. When this car arrives there, 9-PK car will be sent back for modifications, and then sent out again. The third car will be 35-PK. We recommend that any Insurance Policy you take out should be arranged so that we can at any time change the cars. It is impossible for us to foresee what might happen to a car, making it necessary for it to be replaced by another. Mr. Lomas has recently insured the cars against Accident. We suggest we have a copy of any Policy which has been taken out in France to see that the cars are properly covered. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
