| X4305 OY. from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG2. 9.21. I cannot resist returning to you some of your "dope". What I particularly wish to rub in is that Mr. C.F. Kettering, who, I am sure you will admit is one of the best men you have in U.S.A., states definitely "the first big problem we have in the design of engines today is that of distribution". This is what I have been trying to tell you, in a feeble way, for months. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
