| Handwritten: P.Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} R.Dodd x560 Please have this lever despatched Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S/W {Sales / Derby Works} To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 20/25 Steerings. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 11/E15.4.35 Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 15/KW.10.4.35 I had my new 20/25 out this week-end and thought that the steering was what I might call 'medium', i.e. not as free as I should really like it but at the same time not so stiff as would cause a customer to complain. I should like you to send the shorter pendulum lever to Br. {T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} so that immediately after Easter I cam have it changed and check the result. The modifications referred to in your former memo were of course carried out. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
