To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine). Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 13/E22.11.32


Your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 10/MA.21.11.32 is headed "II.P.II" and deals with Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine).

This heading is of course most confusing to all concerned, but especially to our filing clerks, as one most naturally takes it to be relating to Phantom II.

Would you please see in future that memos. dealing with Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) are headed clearly "Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) II", or whatever the number may be.
