| To BJ. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CWB. [The words 'to CWB.' are struck through] [Handwritten] VB540 S E C R E T. [Handwritten] R Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG25.8.25. 10,000 MILES TEST ON 'INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)' IN FRANCE. Answering your BJ14/H24.8.25. If there is no further hitch, the 7,000 miles running on the car in France should be completed during this week-end. We have instructed our men at Chateauroux(French test region) that when CWB. arrives, they should work to his instructions. If CWB. proposes to be at Chateauroux(French test region) the whole time during the 8,000/9,000th. miles, we could then perhaps arrange to bring back some of the men because whilst they are there we have to pay them whether they work or play. [Handwritten 'A' in the right margin] [Handwritten and circled 'Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} '] | ||
