Sidgreaves - MD} and he does not like it and does not wish to have it fitted to his car. Will you please let me know if this set is our property or the property of E.K. Cole Ltd. We have in mind that it could be fitted to a 40/50 HP. car which is being completed at Barkers and which it has been agreed I shall take into use, and subject to hearing from you that this set should be tried out, I will arrange for it to be fitted on the car in question. I will therefore await your reply before taking any further action. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Hives | ||
