| -3- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW. 26.2.34. Muncie. An off to Wright Field, Warner Gear Co. at Delco at Anderson, Delco at Dayton etc., and then back to the coast to Langley Field. Hope to reach New York about March 2nd, and leave for Detroit again 6th or 8th; sailing either 16th on slow ship or 21st Berengaria. Some idiot parked my car in top gear, hence the clutch is wearing at an alarming rate. Had the Bentley on the Proving Ground to-day. It behaved better than I expected on the Belgian block. Thank you for dealing with Dick Summers; he will I hope be a satisfied owner by the time I return. Shall visit Curtis Wrights again while in New York; also Aero Inertia starter people, Eclipse.
