| 1259 By at IW! c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hx2/IH.11.7.39. Bentley V.{VIENNA} Rear Numberplate. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked me to reply to BY.3/G.7.7.39. We quite agree the 'built-on' Cornercroft back numberplate is to be preferred to the alternative arrangement, especially as it is the cheaper scheme, and we have told Park Ward to go ahead. Hx. | ||
