| S/W. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Copy to GST.{G. S. Townsend} (struck through) Copy to K.{Mr Kilner} (struck through) Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}/W1/SOC/12.8.36. Mr. Cunningham. Thanks for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/MJ.10.8.36, and the information contained therein. Mr. Cunningham said he would not mind paying extra for anything which we thought would make the car more suitable for use in the States, so he would obviously not mind paying for the change over for the gear/starter motor as you suggest. Will you please therefore send the necessary parts to Kingsbury as soon as possible, as they already have the other work in hand for the car. Wod. Wol. | ||
