To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. Four Wheel Brakes.

Referring to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG27/9/23, Mr.Cowen reports that Barkers could arrange for you to try a Hispano Suiza. If you want to try it at once and would give C. two or three days notice, Barkers would arrange to borrow the Hispano Suiza trials car; or they would have a new car going through which will be finished in about three weeks time - this car will have to go out on test when it is finally finished and you could go out on it then, if that would suit.

CJ.
