| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/MJ.19.5.31. 19-G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} With regard to the new 25 HP. car which Sales have sent us to use as an experimental car for the 10,000 miles test in France. As agreed, we wish to remove from that car the engine unit complete and return it to the works as a new completely tested unit. As we shall also have to change the radiator, springs, wheels, and hubs, we think these parts should also be returned so that they can be used up on a new car and we can obtain full credit for them. The same also applies to the shock absorbers front and rear. There may be other parts which can also be disposed of. We think we ought to get these parts into the works as soon as possible because they will soon be obsolete. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
