| X5840. H Mr. Hives. Chat.Murray. Copy to Mr. P.H.13/P.H.H.G.W. When at D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} last week, I understood from you that this car would be ready for me to run some mileage in England about the 8th or 9th October. I am not clear whether this date included the final dismantling and assembly of the car after running 15,000 miles. Otherwise it is difficult to know what it is intended should be the car's operations between now and then, as the last report shows it has run 14,245 miles out of a maximum of 15,000. PH. | ||
