| Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. 76153. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MA.16.7.35. Re. EKCO CAR RADIO. The only spare set which we understand is available is the set which was ordered for Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car and which we understand you are now having fitted to your new car. With regard to the Phillips set we are not definitely against this set as we have not actually had an opportunity of trying it out on a car but from bench tests we do not think it is as good as the Ekco. We do hope you will make arrangements for this set to be tried out on a suitable car in London as soon as convenient. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
