| W/S. C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Handwritten: X4240 X4607 Hsl/LG22.9.23. Handwritten: Y3596 Handwritten: X4607 We are sending to London on Tuesday the 25th. inst., a 20 HP. car fitted with a 2-level arrangement for the rear tank for Sales to examine. We would like the man who is bringing this car to London to obtain some particulars from other makes of Cars with regard to size and type of radiators etc. We had in mind that either Barkers or Hoopers or perhaps the Car Mart would allow us, unofficially, to measure up radiators on cars which they may have in. We do not wish to run the cars at all. The cars we are particularly interested in are such as - Hispano, Napier, Bentley and the Lanchester. We will instruct our man to call on you at Conduit Street on Tuesday next to see what arrangements can be made. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
