| Mr.G.W.Hancock, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. From Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KT.11.12.33. I am coming over to Montlhery with the streamlined car to get a timed speed test before the end of this week. I hope to arrive in Paris on Thursday morning Dec.14th. Will you please arrange for one of your fellows to be available in Paris to go over to Montlhery with me in case anything requires doing on the car. Unless I am held up by weather conditions I should be back in England by Monday next. If you will get in touch with Sr. and tell him where your man will be staying, I can then get into communication with him as soon as I reach Paris. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} P.S. I think the India tyre people would like to see some of the tyres which accentuate the peculiar wear which you mention. Would you therefore please arrange for two to be returned to them. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
