| H3 Y180. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} re List of Cars in the Experimental Department. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 2/E7.7.31 Referring to Hsl/M3.7.31 I note against 14-EX it says: "Experiments and developments of Maybach gear change". I believe we have definitely abandoned this type and I should be glad to know if it is clear that no further money is being spent on this experiment and development. If my assumption is incorrect, please let me have full particulars of the reason for continuing. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Stamp: RECEIVED 24 JUL 1931 HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ] | ||
