| To SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to C. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X4482 HsL/LG12.11.28. fen82 ALFA ROMEO. We understand that when R.{Sir Henry Royce} was at the Show, he recommended we should buy an Alfa Romeo car. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has since tried one of these cars, which is owned by Mr. Geoffrey Summers, and we consider that we ought to purchase one. Before we put it up to R.{Sir Henry Royce} again, we should like to know how the matter was left. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
