| To J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to C. COPY. R11/P 19.2.14. COPY. In regard to our telegraph of the 16th inst., reading (last sentence) " If 2301 not wanted Wolseley (not Wilseley taken to mean Wilson) can return with Waldron " the Wolseley is now doing nothing, and we await your instructions. R.{Sir Henry Royce} I will continue to use 2301 if it is preferable to keep 2704 on the road continuously. I should like 2704 some week ends to be here so that I could test a few of the parts for myself. I have not much time for testing during the week. Actually I only require a car for Saturday afternoon. X 1130 | ||
