I have read with great interest Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.8/MA.22.6.34 and am very glad to see that this matter is being seriously tackled because present indications point to the fact that it is necessary for us to turn out our chassis in such a way that wireless can be fitted without difficulty. The demand from the public is becoming steadily greater. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} has had a set fitted to his car and has experienced considerable difficulty in the early stages, and I think it would be useful if he came up to Derby in order to have a discussion with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst and any others concerned, with a view to arriving at the position indicated in the last paragraph of the note referred to. I should imagine that it will probably be necessary for us also to approve of certain sets. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
