| To C. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} (411) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}4/MJ.26.9.30. SIR ROBERT HADFIELD. With reference to C3/C26.9.30. The driver told us that Sir Robert Hadfield did not mind paying for additional shock absorbers as long as we improved the riding of his car. This, of course, requires confirming. The reason we were pushing on with the parts is that the car is going to France in a week, where it will of course be driven very fast on bad roads.
