CWW/LC May 8th 1928 DEAR SIRS, re C.J.Trials Car 10 EX. We duly received your letter of the 4th inst, (Ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJLL/LG) and have noted that one of the air cushions in the pneumatic front seats has burst. We have turned up our records, and have to-day sent you under separate cover, a new bag which we think will be found suitable. We are sorry to hear that the damaged bag has been mislaid, as we should have liked an opportunity of inspecting this, in an endeavour to ascertain the cause of the burst. If you come across it in the future, perhaps you will kindly send it on to us. Yours faithfully, For BARKER & CO (Coachbuilders) LTD Director | ||
