| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X360 re- 34-EX. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /RM. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 17/KW6.11.35. Cx {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 2/KW7.11.35. As this car goes to Scotland next week for the Scottish Show and will not be returning from Scotland until about the 26th or 27th November, it looks to me as though that would be the first convenient opportunity to make the change. As a matter of fact, two of the Official Retailers in Scotland, Clyde and Croall, both prefer to have an Enclosed Limousine for the Scottish Show. If, however, the driver on his way South after that date could call at W. and leave 34-EX and bring along 33 or 35-EX in its place temporarily - provided this arrangement suits you - we would endeavour to arrange accordingly. We are trying Ethyl in 34-EX, and there is already a distinct improvement in the detonation. Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Ruleb | ||
