Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL1/AD11.11.30. I will write you about the springing after I have had an opportunity of giving the car good use.

I cannot say I like the Klaxon vibrator horn. It sounds to me exactly like the cheap American cars.

I am obtaining a Klaxon two note horn to test and propose to return this vibrator horm to you and should be glad if you would send to Barlow Mews the Klaxon horn which you took off so that I can have it fitted back when I have finished the test of the two note Klaxon.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
