DEPARTMENTAL MEMO. This column is for Name of Person addressed. DATE. Mr Johnson's L-E car. Mr Barrington 29/10/12 [STAMP] RECEIVED 30 OCT 1912 [Handwritten] Sales advised. MS written 30.10.12. CJ17/D291012 Re FHR2/H241012, were not the seats on my car exactly of the same dimensions? If so, I think that we should stick to that dimension if people want to have an exact duplicate of the L-E car and to obtain the same speed out of it. On the other hand, the Sales Dept. might be advised to recommend to purchasers who want comfort rather than speed, the enlargement suggested by Mr Royce. C.J. [Handwritten] Ref.
