| W/S. To C. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} STUDEBAKER. In view of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s interest in the remote control gear change fitted on the Studebaker which he tried in London, we should like to have an opportunity of trying one of these cars at the works so that all the people interested in it could drive it. We are wondering, therefore, whether you could arrange for a car to come to Derby for a day. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
