x262 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/KW. 19th May, 1936. E.R. Hall, Esq., 53, Berkeley Court, London, N.W.1. Dear Hall, After your departure yesterday, the electrician in the shop came along and said that you had asked him to alter the wiring on the car and fit another horn. You will appreciate that whilst we are enthusiastic to do all we can to get your car ready for Le Mans, it is almost impossible to do this satisfactorily unless written instructions are passed through Mr. Coverley, Mr. Grylls or myself. Yours sincerely, | ||
