Thank you for Sr10/Crn.12.11.36., I attach a copy of memo from Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} which explains exactly what was done in the case of Raymond Mays' car. I also enclose a summary of the present bearing position so that you may see whither we are going.

We rely upon you to do all you can to sell him a car. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
