| GRY{Shadwell Grylls} see me S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}% from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Raymond Mays - 4 1/4-Litre Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E14.5.36 Copy to G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KW.1.5.36 I saw Mr.Raymond Mays yesterday and I understand that he is leaving for Germany on June 8th and will then be on the Continent for some time. He will be going to the Nurburg Ring and could of course give the brakes some good testing there for us. I rather doubt whether it is possible for you to be ready in time to have new drums fitted to his car prior to them but I thought I would let you know. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
