| SECRET S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X180. C1/C19.7.29 as we can before the "SS{S. Smith}" is announced. We are now clearing up as many cars Would you, therefore, please consider whether there are any experimental cars (as given in your Hsl/BELL.7.29) that you do not require: for instance, 12-EX. I understand this is not an "SS{S. Smith}" engine and therefore we are likely to get a better price for it now, if you have finished with it. 14-EX. The same remarks apply. The other "EX" chassis presumably you will still require. 20 h.p..If there are any of these that you have finished with, please let us know. Chrysler..Will you also let us know when you have finished with this. C. | ||
