| W/S. Db{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}/Blb. 1204 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.10.6.37. With reference to Db{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}/Blb.8/LAM.7.6.37., we have been unable to hold up the Packard any longer, but could let Mr. James have a 20 H.P. Vauxhall, or a 25 H.P. Oldsmobile on the 17th. The Vauxhall looks the least obtrusive, and we would suggest that he has this. Please let us know what you wish us to do. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
