Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}12/AP.23.2.40.

NEW LORRY.

We have not been able to get a promise of delivery for a 2-ton Commer, we have therefore ordered for you a 2-ton Karrier Bantam. There is more room behind the driver and is a low-loading vehicle. It costs £279. 10. 0. and will be delivered at the end of March.

Your present Bedford should be delivered to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} in the Experimental Department at Derby when the Karrier arrives.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}
