| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1204 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}6/KW.5.3.36. We object very strongly to being choked, and subjected to brake linings being burnt out in an enclosed building. It is not healthy, and not at all necessary. There is no reason why the chassis which is being used for these tests should not be run out in the open, while the tests are being carried out. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.H. | ||
