| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 404 MR What shall we do about this car? Let it go before the end of the month or pay our £25 license tax (chargeable to RRAI I suppose) and keep it another 2 months? Do you personally or Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} feel that it is of sufficient interest to you, or possibly to W.W. in connection with U.S. Riding requirements. Threaded shackles Popping in carburetter "Trickle" steering column thrust with floating bronze washer. Automatic shutter operation. Clutch pedal - load to operate Lamps & dimming. etc To be worth keeping around. I think you are the "doctor" & we should do just what you want. Personally would like to have it round for another month or so for riding comparisons. from [signature] to Mr Hives Ay June 16/30. | ||
