Hanbury - Head Complaints} 798. 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2947 TO Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E1/M16.3.22. RE CARS. RE D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} F.{Mr Friese} P. CAR. X4262 If it is so difficult to alter the steering column we think it not worth while holding up the D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} F.{Mr Friese} P. chassis in Derby as if we are going to study it we ought to have it at once. Unless you have licensed this car for a long period we propose to let the license run out as soon as we get the car down to WW. There will be sufficient time to try it on the road before this occurs. RE FIAT CAR. X4133 We are expecting the Fiat car here from Brighton to-day. Mr. Cowen drove it down to Brighton and then telephoned us. We asked him to get it sent here, and we believe he has sent for a driver from London to do this. RE 20.HP. TT.RR. X We are arranging that the driver who brings the Fiat shall take back this car to London. We do not know what should eventually be done with it. RE DELAGE. X3525 Mr. Day is proposing to use this now instead of the TT. RR. and we shall be glad if you will send the next quarter's license for it. RE ESSEX CAR. X4217 We are proposing that the driver who brings the D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} F.{Mr Friese} P. from Derby shall take back the Essex car. We shall want the Essex carburetter.
