Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x7960 C4/C9.5.34 Re Use of GAW-3 for testing New Carburettor. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW5.5.34 I note that you are not quite ready to fit this carburettor at present. As a matter of fact we have lent this car to Mr.Cunningham Jardine in Scotland, whilst we change over the body of his car to a new chassis, so that it really will not be available for about 10 days. Will this be suitable to you? C. | ||
