S/W Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} C3/C22.3.37 Re B.97.GP...L.Finch, Esq. ------ Thanks for your memo. and I quite appreciate that it is valuable for you to be able to carry out experiments on cars such as this; but that nevertheless you would not have done so had you not understood that the customer was in no hurry for the car. I think this probably was the case to start with, but the rather prolonged period led to annoyance. C. | ||
