58-GN CAR

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} and my self propose going to W.W., leaving Derby on Monday and spending Tuesday at W.W.

We propose calling at Brooklands on Wednesday morning. Perhaps you could arrange for 58-GN car to be there. You are asking to see a car with an interior heater. We have a car which we could show you, and it is also fitted with the gear box which has the quiet second. If it is convenient to you we could arrange for this car to be at Brooklands on Wednesday morning.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
