Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.29.10.38. With reference to Cxl/KW.28.10.38., we will do our best to have B.III available on Wednesday, November 9th. We cannot guarantee the car will be running because a number of experiments are being carried out on it, any one of which may put it out of action temporarily. Whilst you are in Derby, we will show you what we have in the way of Defrosters, and explain exactly what they mean from a coachwork point of view. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
