In 1897, Murray Finch-Hatton, 12th Earl of Winchilsea and a pioneering motorist, wrote to fellow board members of the Great Horseless Carriage Company: “Gentlemen — I believe you are aware that about three months ago, as the result of overwork, my health suddenly broke down, and Sir William Broadbent . . . ordered me at once to go to the Riviera.” But the rest cure had failed and Broadbent, an eminent physician, had judged the earl was “not in a fit state of health to undertake any responsible work”. As a result, he would be obliged to step down as a director.
1897年,第十二代温奇尔西伯爵(Earl of Winchilsea)、早期赛车爱好者默里•芬奇-哈顿(Murray Finch-Hatton)写信给伟大汽车公司(Great Horseless Carriage Company)的其他董事会成员:“先生们——我相信你们知道,大约三个月前,由于过度劳累,我突然病倒了,威廉•布罗德本特爵士(Sir William Broadbent)……命令我立刻前往法国里维埃拉(Riviera,又名蔚蓝海岸)疗养。”但休息疗法失败了,而名医布罗德本特当时判定,温奇尔西伯爵的健康状况不允许他“从事任何担责任的工作”。 结果,他将不得不辞去董事职务。
