| W/S - Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} x360 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW.18.5.36. 35-EX. We understood from you at the last Conference at Derby that 35-EX was now handed over to us for experimental work. We note from Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}2/KW.16.5.36 that you now suggest that this arrangement should be reversed. As it will take at least two months to bring this car up to date, by which time you should have plenty of standard production cars running about, to continue to use this car for demonstration does not seem to us to be reasonable. Additionally we are very badly in need of more experimental Phantom III's. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
