| S/W..EH c.to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} K4117 C19/C26.9.30 Re 131-WJ..Sir Robert Hadfield -------- Sir Robert Hadfield has telephoned me that he is expecting the material ready at Derby on Tuesday next, and he is not expecting to pay for these Hartford shock absorbers. I understand this is the first time you have fitted them front and rear. I presume you consider this essential, because, of course, this doubles the expense? C.
