Next Thursday is the day fixed for a Board Meeting, which I have to attend, so kindly make your visit on Friday the 27th. re. CAR FOR LE CANADELHenry Royce's French residence I have decided to go to the South of France on the 19th. Dec., and take 27-EX., with Dodd, or someone. I am in hope that it can be fitted with something useful - synchro mesh gearbox, or the double top with friction control, and possibly you can arrange to send out one of the semi-expanding single carburetters in hand, but I fear you could not get this ready in time for when I leave, though if you could it would push things on finely. I have little doubt that we could make it work good enough for ourselves, with a spare standard one on board for safety. R.{Sir Henry Royce} [STAMP] RECEIVED 25 NOV 1931 | ||
