Experimental Car - 2100.E. X613 Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 22.8.13. Some time ago, when the Austrian cars were proceeding to Vienna, the speedometer broke upon Mr.Friese's car. We understand they met Waldron, of the Test Dept. coming along with 2100.E. from Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence), they therefore, took the speedometer off the above car. The broken speedometer has now been returned to us from Vienna and is now in the stores. Please say if this belongs to the Experimental Dept. or the Test Dept. as we wish to hand it over to the correct Dept. The number of the speedometer is Elliott - 10392. p.p.D. B.P.
