| W/P - Sr. 46013 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW.27.8.34. Thank you for your Sr.23/DN.9.8.34. I can assure you that wing flapping is having our undivided attention. I was sorry to hear that the Trials car had met with an accident, but glad that no-one was seriously hurt. I understand from G.W.H. that this had our cross member between the headlamps fitted, so that for the time being this has terminated this particular test. I shall hope to go over to the Show, by which time we shall have made some progress. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
