| To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X560 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/KW.18.6.36. GLG-5. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 6/E.17.6.36. We fitted the Marles steering to your car, the parts to convert it to a three-speed box, and decarbonised it. We also fitted the latest type of silent tread tyre. The horns were changed because on final test when I personally was driving the car, one of them ceased to function, and we are endeavouring to find out why this was.
