| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4117. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/WW2/KW15.10.31. Chassis No. 91-GN. Captain H.A. Taylor, Sutton Hall, Thirsk. You will no doubt recollect that some few months ago we had a considerable amount of trouble with the above mentioned car for spitting in the carburetter. Several efforts were made to cure this trouble, but we never succeeded to the owner's satisfaction, and eventually he was informed that experiments were in progress in respect of this matter, and that as soon as we had something definite to offer he would be advised, and arrangements would be made to give further attention to his car. Captain Taylor has again come to the attack, and we attach hereto copy of his letter of the 14th inst. Will you please let us know as soon as possible what you suggest we should say to Captain Taylor in reply. Kindly note, we should like to reply to Captain Taylor to-day.
