| PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mcr2/L24714. Re Lanchester. X. 440 Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 24-7-14. We wish to despatch the above car to Mr Barrington as early as possible. The two seats now on the car should be made fairly comfortable as it is possible that Mr Royce may take a few test rides in this car in addition to the use Mr Barrington will put it to. It should also be fitted with an efficient windscreen. Will you kindly get this done as early as possible. We shall also be glad if you will give us an approximate date when this work can be finished up. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
