| X4117 PN.{Mr Northey}13/WT12.8.31. S/W. for...from PN.{Mr Northey} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to C. Sm. GXO-69. Hutton. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/AD7.8.31 we think that it would be a good and useful thing if we made the necessary arrangement to fit the modified exhaust scheme to which you refer to this owner's car, either when he returns from the Continent, or alternatively directly he makes the inevitable complaint of having had trouble. From your memo one would get the impression that he is not likely to be without trouble, having regard to his strenuous method of driving, so that it might be better to do the job as soon as we are able without waiting for any further trouble and complaint later on. Will you therefore have the necessary parts put in hand so that the job can be undertaken at short notice. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
