| X4086 PNS/DN/6.7.22. TO Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BJ & C. FROM PN.{Mr Northey} With regard to the series of driving experiences, which during the next few weeks it has been arranged shall be given to certain unprofessional drivers in connection with the Goshawk now in France, - it is undoubtedly important that there shall be permanently on the car a schedule shewing as simply as possible the various daily or periodical operations which should be attended to in connection with lubrication and adjustment, in order that the car can have at last the attention that it would have in the hands of the ordinary private owner who was anxious to take reasonable care of his car. Would you be good enough to let us have at once, in order that the Goshawk may be available for the first test, such a list of instructions referred to ? P.N PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
