| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 1173 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}1/R.15.3.37. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has asked me to tell you that he wants you to come to Derby to discuss the running of 10,000 miles test, and one point he has raised is that in the old days Derby received a report every day, even if the car were not running, whereas, now it is ten days since we have had a word about 35-EX. This makes it impossible to let Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} know what is happening. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
