| x7961a S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} LE17/C/21.1.35. Re Chassis No. B.169.CW. Summers. Park Ward definitely promise to have this car ready for testing on Thursday next, the 24th instant. I note you want to come down and try this. Is it possible for you to come down? If so I will arrange to meet you at Park Ward if you come by road or St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Pancras if you come by train. At the same time I would like you to try one or two 20/25's as the movement of the front wings and lamps appears to be rather on the increase, particularly with the rubber mounted engine. If you cant do Thursday will be fit for Friday- J.A.B. | ||
