| COPY. S/W. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from C. C.12/C.15.9.33. Re ENGINE GEARS - 20/25 H.P. I know, of course, that the Works are fully aware of the urgency of this matter, but just to give you an instance of the damage this is likely to do to our reputation I am advising you of the following:- We have recently had to arrange for the return of GLZ-56 to the Works. You have at the present moment at the Works another car belonging to Mr. Scott (GSY66). Also GRW-53 has had to be returned to the Works for the same trouble. The unfortunate part about these three cars and the reason I quote them together is that all these people live in Dundee and you will understand how a thing like this gets round in a small community of this sort. The enclose copy of letter from Messrs. Rossleigh of Dundee on the matter. C. | ||
