| W/N. To Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} K180 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/LG23. 7.25. RE. CAR FOR YOUR HOLIDAYS. I am sorry I have not replied to your first note in connection with the above, but the reason is that the running of experimental cars has been under discussion. BJ. has had the matter in hand and his attitude is that if the experimental cars have experimental parts fitted to them they must not be sent away because someone might see them, on the other hand, if they have not experimental parts fitted to them, there is no need to run them. We shall have to disappoint several people this holiday. I am very sorry that we cannot do anything for you, as nothing would have given me more pleasure. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
