| To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten]: X180 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG26.2.29. 'SS{S. Smith}'. [Handwritten and struck through]: X7770 I am afraid it is impossible to xx give you the exact date when 21-EX car will be handed over to you for test. We have the car running[handwritten insertion: at] the present time but we are not satisfied with several features. We do not wish this car to go away until it represents a car which we can produce and sell. We are certain the car will not be handed over to you until after March 4th. but we hope it will be shortly after that date. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
