| 47941 (c1) Expl: Dept: Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby Angleterre. 18th. Feb. 1929. Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. Mr. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Adams, from HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} We have received your request for time sheets. These were send off last week, therefore you should have received them by now. Re. the photographs. I should leave the plates with the Photographer - we do not want them and can always get any prints we require. Will you send Photographs as soon as possible by post. We have not received any report of work done at Chateauroux. This is necessary and you should obtain one from Hill and MacStay. Re. shortage of cash, If you have not received any from Paris, get them to let you have an I.O.U. until I return, which should be in another 10 days. I am waiting for a car to be completed which I am bringing over for a 10,000 miles test. One of our experimental testers (Mr. Gaye) is coming over to investigate and work on the Bijur Lubrication system on 19-EX. You will, for the time being, work for him and do all to help the job along. contd :- | ||
