| C. From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Lp.{Mr Lappin} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} x7960 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ. 23.6.30. x5770 x5960 20 HP. CAR. We wish to make use of the 20 HP. car which is run by Lp.{Mr Lappin} to gain road experience of certain features. At the present time we have a spare engine unit which is fitted with a Nitralloy crankshaft and bearings made in special alloy, which we cannot run on our own 20 HP. cars. Therefore, we are asking Lp.{Mr Lappin} when convenient to let us have the car, and we will change the unit so that he can pile up some mileage on this engine. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
