| X.4308 To BP. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 6/LG19.5.24. In connection with the attached. We cannot tell you exactly what is in this case from Paris. We believe there are some Speedometers which failed which went out on the cars. We obtained some more Speedometers in Paris to keep the cars running so that the faulty ones could be returned to the makers. We recommend you write and ask Paris the contents of the case.
