R.R. 935 (20 M) (W 974. 19.10.11) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2078 re Lanchester Car. X440 Mr Platford. 19.1.12 D10/S19112. As this is for testing purposes, I suggest that you should use a red number plate, as if we use a black one, we shall have to pay a licence and there is no necessity on this particular car. Re Fire Insurance. This is covered by Fire Insurance whilst it is at Holmes. Re Accident. Please see that every time it goes out it is entered in our Log Book so that it will be covered against accident. Please confirm that you are carrying out the entries in the Log Book. The order number for which you ask is 41107. This is entered in the books as the "L" car. Please use this letter in your communications. pp J.Delooze. W.S. | ||
