| 64553a To PN.{Mr Northey} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/HJ.29.3.33. Re. Bensport. We had a message to say that the Bensport car was in Calais acting on instructions G.W.H. received from you. The letter we recieved from Hancock telling us that you had asked him to send the car to Calais arrived too late for us to stop him. We must ask you to send us all your instructions as regards cars running in France through the Experimental Dept. Occasions may arise when it is essential to communicate with Chateauroux direct but in that case we should expect to receive a copy of what is sent. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
