| K775 To Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}, from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KT.1.11.33. Mr. Macintosh of the Ford Motor Co. was of great assistance to us when we went down to Dagenham, and in consequence we want to reciprocate as far as we can. Attached is some correspondence we have had with him with reference to one of his clients wanting a steering wheel. As the correspondence has now reached the stage where the lady really wants to buy something, it is outside our province, and I should be glad if you would deal with the matter and arrange to supply the necessary pieces.
