| X 4545 PN {Mr Northey} 11/DN/28.9.22. S/W {Sales / Derby Works} - Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} FROM PN. {Mr Northey} BJ, has asked me to reply to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG27.9.22 addressed to him. As we are very short of drivers in London at the moment, I want you, please, to send a first-class man to London to be here by 10 o'clock on Monday morning next, who is entirely au fait with the Goshawk. This man will remain here at any rate until Tuesday evening and during that time he will with the assistance of a Goshawk chassis we shall have in our Basement, give instructions to everyone here concerned; for instance, the various Salesmen are fairly heavily engaged in the Showroom and will only be able to take instruction intermittently when they find themselves available. Also your expert will be able to instruct during those two days, the man I appoint to be responsible for driving the Goshawk during the Show week. We note that 4 Goshawk 11. will be with us again from W.W. on the morning of the 4th prox. PN. {Mr Northey} | ||
