| S/W. (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) [Handwritten]: W [Handwritten]: 87960. [Handwritten]: Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}21/I/28-4-31. SECOND-HAND CAR 110-DC. We are sorry to trouble you again but we really would like to have some news of when this car is going to be returned to us. On the 31st ult. you told us we might expect the car about the middle of this month and Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has informed us you told him we might expect it last week. Whilst we do not want to interfere with important experiments, the position so far as we are concerned is that we may be losing opportunities of selling the car through our inability to indicate when we can give delivery.
