DONNINGTON GRAND PRIX ON OCTOBER 1st. I saw Dick Seaman last night and he is driving one of the Mercedes cars in the October Grand Prix. He said he would very much appreciate being able to look round part of these Works. He also mentioned that the Mercedes Chief Chassis Engineer, Herr Uhlenhaut, would also like to see some of the chassis part of the Works. He talks excellent English, and we may be able to get some useful information from him. They will be in Derby on September 26th. or 27th. Can it be arranged that they have a pass to come into the Works ? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
