| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mcr11/L7115. R.{Sir Henry Royce} 7-1-15. With reference to your memo R7/IB 301214 in which you ask us to make an effort to get hold of a Packard car for the purpose of examining the clutch, we have received a memo from London and they state that they are experiencing a difficulty in procuring in any way a Packard car and they have suggested - with Mr Johnson's agreement - that they should write to Mr James Royce in Toronto, who would if possible obtain any information you require. If you think this scheme is feasible would you kindly let us know the exact nature of the information you require. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Mcr.
