        Sir Arthur  Lawley( 1860-1932) Governor of  Madras(1906-1911) and Lady  Lawley  alighting out of the  Car  to inaugurate a block of  Women  and  Children  Hospital  in Oct 1911 in this photograph  by a British  Army Doctor. The Nurses quarter opposite was named  after Lady Lawley. Arthur  Lawley  was a reformist  and expanded railways and modernised Agriculture and Industry. He inaugurated  the  renovated  Museum  in 1906 and Victoria  Memorial  Hall in 1909. Indian  Council  Act was passed during  his period. He also attended the Annual function of Madras  sanskrit  college  in 1911. His brother  was also Governor of  Madras  during  1891-96. Any input  on the  Model of the Car?
