| +8430 To C. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}7/LG1.2.28. +8774 This is to confirm our telephonic conversation this afternoon that 10-EX will be at Bruton Street at noon tomorrow Thursday the 2nd. inst. The steering column position on this car is exactly the same as that on the car which has gone to France, the only difference being that it is attached to a sheetmetal dash board instead of a cast dash. There are also a number of experimental bits on the car dealing with the 'pick up' vibration. We should be glad if you would return the car as soon as possible as it is urgently required for experimental work. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
