| W/S - C. c. to Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}: X 4217 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}:12/KW.15.6.34. Essex '8' Terraplane. We have to-day despatched this car to Lillie Hall for sale. The tool kit is very incomplete and there is no starting handle. The car was in this condition when we received it. The only feature of the car which we think is not in first-class condition is the clutch. We would recommend a new set of corks being fitted to the central plate before the car is sold.
