| X1087 S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to GWD Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}/Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}6/AMC/16.4.28. Referring to your Hsl/LG.14.4.28. on receipt of this memo we immediately obtained from Lillie Hall, 1 Smith windscreen wiper complete with flexible drive ready to place on Car No.12-EX when it called. We have, however, seen nothing of this car, so presume that either something has occurred to delay its departure for France, or it went direct to Folkestone without calling at Conduit Street. We propose therefore, to retain the windscreen wiper here until we hear further from you as to whether it is still required. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}/Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Hsl | ||
