To Srv from BJ. Sports Model. Yesterday I discussed with Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} the great urgency of placing this on the market in about 7 weeks if possible, viz. the beginning of our financial year. They agree this is feasible, (as it is so very like our present standard chassis in most respects), if we can now start on a 10,000 miles test forthwith - I hope it can be arranged. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will write to you about details. BJ. | ||
