| 86051. Lp.{Mr Lappin} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.5/MA.25.5.34. Re. VULTURE CAR. Unfortunately the speedometer has failed on this car and we have sent it off to the A.T.Speedometer Co., for repair. We have requested that they should repair this speedometer, which has a special calibration, and then get in touch with you at Conduit Street very early next week so that you can run the car along to their Works on the North Circular Road when they will refit the speedometer to your car. We think it worth while for you to get in touch with Mr.H.R.Buckland the Managing Director first thing on Monday Morning in order that there will be no delay in the matter.
