| GRAND HOTEL CAVALIÈRE - CAP NÈGRE (Var) MORIAZ, PROPRIÉTAIRE CONFORT MODERNE CHAUFFAGE - EAU COURANTE GARAGE TÉLÉPHONE 1 R.{Sir Henry Royce} C. TOULON 18.522 OUVERT TOUTE L'ANNÉE LE 29/4 1930 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We cannot believe that R has been very ill at the moment. He is full of beans. We have not got down to brass tacks yet so far we have discussed general things. R intends to leave here in about 14 days so that we must be certain that 165 F is ready for him. He is determined to have the Japan 20HP if we can show the results there will be no difficulty with their carburetion. 78 EX is reasonably good to frame fitting better than we are. It has been raining here for two days so that we have had no opportunity of high speeds. We expect to leave here on Thursday & shall return via Germany we ought to be in Paris about Monday next. I will arrange to meet G.W.H. Will you send any necessary parts to modify our radiator & 23ET mounting to Paris. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
