| X.1525. To Ms. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG8.3.21. X.1525 15.HP HUMBER CAR. Will you please write to the C.A.V. people and obtain for us a new Pinion for Starter Motor on the 15-HP Humber Car. We attach two pieces of the broken pinion so that they shall know the size. You might mention that we consider they should replace this pinion free-of-charge as the car has only been used for three weeks and the pinion is, we consider, faulty, because of it being too hard.
