Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 17/E1539 Thanks for Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 15/R.28.4.39. This, as you say, certainly sounds very encouraging. Please let me know when the car is available to try. I presume that Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} will be trying it soon and I should like then to see his report. We are going to have another chassis meeting as soon as possible after Whitsun so that possibly Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} will then be able to try it. Sg. {Arthur F.
