Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}17/MD/4.12.35. The Steel Bodied car running in France is shortly going to be withdrawn. It would be quite convenient for Mr. Ward to go over and try it on Monday next, the 9th inst., or possibly if this is inconvenient we could hold it up until Tuesday. Perhaps if Mr. Ward does not wish to spend the time going to Paris, the best thing would be to arrange for our man to meet him at the coast. If Mr. Ward will ring me up and let me know what he wishes to do, I will arrange accordingly. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
