Resulting from the tests made by us to-day on the Welwynn By-pass when we found that the "jellying" of the front of the frame had become extensive, I am arranging for this car to be taken off demonstration runs and to be sent to you so that you have it first thing on Monday morning next, in order that you can explore the source of the trouble. I understand from you that we can count on having the car back again in not more than one week. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
