| X 300 a Lillie Hall to W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} HFH{Hoppy F. Hamilton}1/L/2.10.36. Re: 35 EX. We have received the pads and washers to be fitted to the above car. The car is going to Cricklewood today. We regret that, although we despatched a daily report to you dated 25.9.36, it appears to have been mislaid in transitand was not, therefore, generally distributed. We are unable to trace its whereabouts and conclude that it was mislaid in the mailing department at Derby, so herewith forward you another copy to complete your files. It may have been this fact that led you to believe that our miles increased from 157 to 458 over two days running. H.F. Hamilton. [Signature] | ||
