S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8230 CWB19/GM/20-6-27. PHANTOM EXHAUST SYSTEM. I have received your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG18.6.27 and also the two special butterfly valves, which we will have fitted as soon as possible. Do you recommend any special lubricant for use in this valve, for example, any admixture of graphite? Matters are very busy down here and I want to make out a programme for some little distance ahead, so should be glad to know, if you are able to tell me, when you think the special open touring car, 10-EX I think is the number, will be sent up to London for two or three days as you proposed. If you can let me know this some few days ahead I will make certain to keep those days free. Try and make the days include a week-end if possible. CWB. | ||
