| Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. X6032 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/AD4.4.32. HIGH FREQUENCY TYPE HORNS We observe from the Klaxon catalogue that the horn they are sending us type HF.{H. W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector}5 is similar to the one which we have already had fitted to R's car. We know that this horn is not as good as the Lucas and to avoid delay we should be glad if you will ask Lucases to post us another type HF.{H. W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector}722 horn as soon as possible. If we confirm that the Klaxon is ineffective we will arrange to return this to the makers. As this Lucas horn will be urgently required we should be glad if you will do all you can to expedite the matter. 19EX Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
