| Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X. 3806. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/AD19.10.29. CHASSIS NO. 12-EX. 12-EX chassis is an F2B series, fitted with centralised lubrication. The whole car has done 10,000 miles quite satisfactorily, and therefore though there may be one or two non-standard bits about the engine they have been proved, and it would seem unnecessary to take them off the car as long as it is sold to someone who is well-known to the firm. Certainly there does not seem to be any point in removing the centralised lubrication. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
