| X.8774 Lp.{Mr Lappin} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/AD8.11.29. Dear Lappin, I am sorry about 10-EX car, but I think it is up to you to convince Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} that the car is being used usefully. From his note it appears that whatever we decide to do with the car it is definitely not to be used by the Aero Dept. because the position with regard to aero engine orders does not justify it. No doubt when the promised orders are forthcoming we shall have instructions to hand our best car over to you. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
