| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (circled) S/W (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) X180 (underlined) PN.{Mr Northey}1/WT3.7.28. My dear Hives, I propose to take a few days' holiday somewhere between Friday the 13th instant and Monday the 23rd. I am anxious to have some sort of a car available during some part of that time, and especially between Wednesday the 18th and Monday the 23rd. Can you make any suggestions which would help me ? Have you any Experimental car which you would like me to trundle some miles out of, or failing that have you any car which I could use for private miles during that time ? I shall be glad to have a line as soon as possible. EPR (circled) By the way, did Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} tell you that I have one of the latest moving-coil loud speakers fitted to a 3'6" baffle-board, which I am willing to part with at about half price, in view of the fact that I have changed my voltage at my new house. Ep.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} might like to know this. The price would come out at 5 guineas complete. The magnet takes 3watts at 6 volts. Yours sincerely, R.N. (signature) (Handwritten note 1) Seems interesting. Ask P.N. what if writer would like next visit London - to see it EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 9/7/28 P.S. What about 8-EX and 10-G.3. (Handwritten note 2) B.S. has approved anything we can fix up. | ||
