Dear Hives, I shall be very interested to know as to whether you came to any agreement with Mr. Royce on your experimental programme with the Freewheel. We have got some more cars running now and also a 4-ton Halley Bus which is doing very well and showing considerable economy. If you happen to be going to the Commercial Motor Show, please look in at the temporary office (see enclosed card) if you have time. Yours sincerely, [Signature] WS/MDS. ENCL. | ||
