| 1245 W/P. To Sr. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}9/MH.{M. Huckerby}19.5.38. We have been trying to get hold of statistics giving, if possible, the number of sales of each make of motor car in England during the last year. All we have been able to obtain is the sales of cars of each horse power. As regards foreign countries the type of information we want is obtainable in England, and we therefore, wonder whether you could by any means get hold of, in France the information about English sales. For instance, in 1937 we would like to know how many Humbers, Alvis, etc. were sold. Hoping you can be of some assistance to us. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
