More Archive additions

[Archivist]

Another busy weekend Archive Towers as more new material has been posted on the Archive web site today. The new material is all encompassed by the 'Ephemera' collection and can be found by looking at https://archive.a7ca.org/collections/ephemera/ If you scroll down, you will see all the new entries are tagged to show recent additions. There is some fascinating stuff there and would particularly draw your attention to the 'Liaisons' publication, a Wartime communication from Longbridge to its dealer network. It repays close study, particularly the article by JW Bache of the Austin Export Department.

A great mixture of interesting items, especially the Berlin motor show report and the GE Silent Saloon leaflet. Keep up the good work!

I just read the 'meeting Hitler' document. Fascinating and chilling in equal measure!
