Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} expects to take the 10,000 miles car to R.{Sir Henry Royce} at the start of its 10,000 miles test, leaving here about the 30th January. Should any part go seriously wrong during the test, Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will arrange for full particulars to be telegraphed to us so that we may stop the production of that particular part if necessary.
