| To C. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Py. c. to W or. X7960 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MJ.18.12.30. GLN-60. X. 7960. X. 634. You will recollect that I spoke to you about demonstrating the improvement we have recently made in booming. It occurs to me that GLN-60 would be a reasonably good car for the purpose and if the Aero sales are agreed we should like to fit it with the necessary parts after Christmas. It will then be available for reference in London, and at the same time we shall be able to get mileage on the experimental features in the ordinary course of the car's work. The latter point is important because we are short of Exp. 25 HP. for this purpose. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
