| x.392A PN{Mr Northey}/9/DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}2.2.20. From PN.{Mr Northey} to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Re Steering on Trials Landaulette In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG28.1.20. Yes? I think the proposal very good that you and possibly Mr.Platford should come and make the necessary tests on our Trials Landaulette. It is of first importance that the roads shall be dry, as otherwise any results obtained would be confused by surface slip. Can you arrange to come on [handwritten: Thursday] [typed and struck through: Wednesday] next? In the meantime, I would keep in touch with you as to the condition of the roads [handwritten: SN{Mr Sanderson} end.] PN.{Mr Northey} [Handwritten initials: PII PH] [Handwritten note: Ring Up Ph.] [Stamp: RECEIVED FER 4 1920] | ||
