| 600c. W/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} - Dor.{Mr Dorey} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.1.6.39. Car for Hucknall. We have arranged to lend you 29.G.VI - one of our Limousine Wraith cars - next week, while your own is being repaired. We cannot lend you this car for more than one week, and would, therefore, ask you to make sure that your own car is in commission, or other arrangements are made, by the end of the week. We would ask you to ensure that the car is returned to us in the condition in which it is handed over to you. In the old days, Hucknall got a very bad reputation for reducing the body work of the car to scrap in a very short space of time. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
