| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3873 CWB5/GM/13-4-26. A friend of mine, Vernon R.{Sir Henry Royce} Gattie Esq., recently told me that an uncle of his had patented some wonderful device which completely revolutionised the springing of motor cars and asked if we were interested. Of course I replied that we were interested in anything which might enable us to make improvements and he promised to send along some literature on this matter which he has done, and which I now enclose herewith. I expect you will have full knowledge of this system already. Please let me have the papers back after you have done everything you wish with them. CWB. [Signature] | ||
