To Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 25/30. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 6/E21.1.36

Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/KW.17.1.36 this is just to confirm that I understand you do not now need to have my car at Derby.

As regards the clutch, the only trouble I havehad with it is that it appears to be inclined to jagger when starting from second. It has been like this since I first had it and I do not think it has got any worse.

I understand that a modification is being made to it by Hancock whilst at Thrupp & Maberley's or Cricklewood.
