Re: 20/25 Petrol Consumption. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.14.6.35, I note that you have despatched a carburetter to Cricklewood to change over on Mr. Fraser Henderson's car. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} will arrange for his man to make the changeover and return to you the carburetter removed. We will endeavour to arrange for Sir Banister Fletcher's car to be at Cricklewood early on Thursday, so that your man may come up and check the consumptions before and after the carburetter is changed. Presumably he will take the one removed to Derby. We note you will let us have a proper filter for Major Munro's car as soon as you have one ready. As I informed you, he has a temporary filter at present, and, as a matter of fact, is very pleased with his car at the moment. C. | ||
