| Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} - Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X788 Bt {Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} 7/AL.1.5.33. Further to our recent correspondence re trial at Brooklands, I have been in touch with my brother who recommends that we should not have any trial this week as the course is specially open for practice for the International Trophy Race, which takes place on Saturday, and he feels that the course will be stiff with machines and Press people, observing their performance. His suggestion is either Monday 8th or Friday 12th. Bt. {Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} | ||
