| 1077 W/S. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R.6.7.38. LINCOLN ZEPHYR. Thank you for Cxll/KW30.6.38. We have been in touch both with Mr. Smith who runs the Ford Dagenham plant and the Lincoln Zephyr Agents, and have been unable to obtain a car from either of them. It, therefore, seems improbable that you will be able to obtain a car from Macintosh. Should he have one available, however, we should still like to test it. If possible, we should like to have the car for two days. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
