| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to C. V5770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG24. 7.25. 20 HP. CAR. BJ6/H24. 7. 25. V5770 x We understand that Mr. Royce is using the 20 HP. car which we left at WW. yesterday during a short holiday he is taking. We understood that he was taking it away on the 28th. July and would be away for a week or 10 days. We have no doubt that R.{Sir Henry Royce} would be quite willing to hand this car to Sales but on the other hand we think it is being run to the best possible advantage whilst it is being used by him. Also, the car is not finished in the state which we would say is suitable for a Trials car. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
