| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x 7550 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Horns for L.H.P.II's. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}18/E1.9.30 Copy to Wep. Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/MJ.29.8.30. My Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}15/D30.7.30 was written as the result of having a note from Oy. read to me on the telephone just at the date I was starting on my holiday, but on second thoughts I am inclined to the opinion that, if either the Klaxon or the Lucas buzzer type horns look like being any good, it would be preferable to fit one or other to 25/EX rather than the Bosch, as really there is just as much reason why we should keep off the Bosch on the American chassis as on the English, i.e. that as an essentially British firm we do not want to fit a German article. Please let me know what you can arrange. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} RECEIVED SEP 2 1930 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
