| X766 EWT/HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/T15.11.24. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} re Chassis No.GAK.65. Gerald Mere Esq. With further reference to memo EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thm4/H221024 and Byl7/H23.10.24, it is important that the parts for this car be handed over to us as soon as ever possible, as we have to despatch them to London, and arrange for Cricklewood to fit them. As stated in paragraph 2 in memo of the 22nd ult, this owner is going abroad again in January, and definitely puts it up to us to prevent him having a recurrence of water boiling troubles whilst he is on the continent. We hope therefore that everything possible will be done to complete the parts quickly. EWT/HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [WATERMARK: MADE AT CROYLEY] | ||
