Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has expressed a wish that he should have his car for his Daughter's wedding in September. Actually, of course, he asked us for the car about two months ago, and, therefore, cannot see why we are unable to accommodate him. Will HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} please give a promise for the chassis when he receives the specification from By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} We shall also be glad if Draper will extract a promise from Park Ward for delivery of the body. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
